Overview
- A large unauthorized house party at 9205 Sommerset Hills Drive in Davenport in April resulted in three people being shot and 18-year-old Daesean Moctezuma fatally wounded.
- Osceola County deputies arrested a 16-year-old on May 21 and charged the teen with manslaughter, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, unlawful possession and discharge of a firearm, and related weapons counts.
- The suspect was booked into the juvenile assessment center and is being held without bond, and local outlets are withholding the teen’s name because of the suspect’s age.
- Captain Kim Montes and the sheriff’s office say the gatherings are often organized online using tools like QR codes or paid entry, and deputies have responded to multiple similar illegal parties in recent months.
- Investigators are actively seeking tips through the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office and Crimeline, which offers anonymous reporting and may pay rewards for information that leads to arrests or recoveries.
