ORLANDO, Fla. – After a man was found dead in a crashed vehicle near downtown Orlando last month, a potential cash reward has been announced for information that can help police find a subject who was reportedly with the victim earlier that morning.
Officers on July 8 responded to the area of Summerlin Avenue and Palmer Street, locating the vehicle with the man inside. The Orlando Police Department noted the man’s injuries were “not consistent with a crash,” adding detectives had already begun looking into the case as a homicide.
On Wednesday, Aug. 2, Crimeline shared a flyer on social media stating cash rewards of up to $5,000 and $10,000 were up for grabs upon receipt of tips revealing the whereabouts and/or identity of a male — pictured in the flyer — who investigators stated was with the victim between 7:15 a.m. and 7:25 a.m. the morning of July 8 in downtown Orlando.
The subject is wanted for questioning in the case, police said.
