Almonte is accused of shooting and killing 20-year-old Angel Isaac Linares last Thursday, deputies said.

Records show, deputies were called to the area of Park Tree Terrace, which is near the Valencia College East Campus. The victim had already been dropped off at a hospital, where he later died, before investigators arrived on scene.

Deputies have not said what led up to the shooting or whether the two men knew each other.
