Orlando police investigate early-morning shooting near West South Street and Terry Avenue in Parramore

What authorities have confirmed so far

Orlando police are investigating a shooting reported early Monday, Feb. 23, 2026, in the Parramore area near the intersection of West South Street and Terry Avenue. Officers responded just before 3 a.m. and located at least one person who had been shot. As of Monday morning, police had not released the victim’s age, identity, or condition, and no suspect description had been made public.

Investigators remained at the scene Monday as the case continued to develop. Police have not said how many shots were fired, whether the shooting occurred indoors or outdoors, or whether the victim was the intended target.

What remains unknown — and why details can be limited early

In the first hours after a shooting, law enforcement agencies often withhold key details while detectives work to interview witnesses, review any available surveillance video, and determine whether multiple incidents are connected. In this case, authorities have not announced arrests, identified a motive, or indicated whether the shooting stemmed from an argument, a robbery attempt, or another circumstance.

Police also have not said whether there is an ongoing threat to the public connected to the incident. Without confirmed information on the suspect’s movements or relationship to the victim, investigators typically avoid releasing partial descriptions that could confuse the public or compromise witness accounts.

Context: Recent gunfire investigations in the same broader area

The South Street investigation comes one week after a separate shooting response in the Parramore neighborhood on Sunday, Feb. 15, 2026, when four juveniles were shot in the 400 block of South Parramore Avenue shortly before 1 p.m. Police said three of the teens suffered non-life-threatening injuries and one suffered a life-threatening injury. Detectives said the preliminary investigation indicated that incident stemmed from a dispute involving other juveniles and that no suspects had been publicly identified at that time.

Authorities have not publicly linked the Feb. 23 shooting near West South Street and Terry Avenue to the Feb. 15 incident on South Parramore Avenue.
