Teen Fatally Shoots Another Teen in Park Fight Sparked by School Incident: OCSO

Orange County Sheriff’s Office Press Release

On Thursday, October 9, deputies responded to a shooting on the basketball court at Vogt-Meloon Park on West Oak Ridge Road. Now 16-year-old Pinien Dalmacy is dead, and 15-year-old Jacori Redding made a choice that can ruin his life. Both of them were sophomores in high school with their entire lives ahead of them.

Witnesses on scene said earlier in the day, Jacori bumped into Pinyon on campus at Oak Ridge High School. Pinien told Jacori to apologize, and he would not – so the two sophomores agreed to fight after school at the park.

“My heart aches for Pinien’s family, who are grieving this unimaginable loss,” said Sheriff John Mina. “And I’m angry that something as small as bumping into someone in the halls of a high school can result in a shooting death.”

After the shooting, Jacori ran back onto the Oak Ridge High School campus, where SRO Deputy Nelson Rodriguez was able to quickly coordinate with school officials, and Jacori was secured in the school cafeteria. The gun was found in his bag.

Jacori Redding was arrested, and a juvenile custody order was obtained for manslaughter with a firearm and possession of a firearm on school property.

Detectives know there were witnesses to this shooting and that there may be video out there that could be helpful to the investigation. We are asking anyone with that kind of information to contact ocsoinfo@ocsofl.com.
