Arrest made in Parramore quadruple shooting
Orlando police say a 16-year-old has been arrested in connection with a Feb. 15 shooting outside Sister Soul Food in Parramore that left four juveniles wounded. Investigators described the case as tied to a gang-related dispute, and said one victim remains in critical condition. The arrest is the latest step in a case that has rattled the neighborhood and renewed calls for conflict interruption and safe routes for teens.
Orlando officer arrested in stalking case, records show
Court records show an Orlando police officer was arrested and booked on an aggravated stalking charge involving an ex-girlfriend. The affidavit outlines a relationship that ended in late 2025 and alleges continued unwanted contact that escalated into threats. The case is likely to draw close scrutiny because it involves a public-safety employee and raises broader concerns about accountability and victim support.
Cold start: freeze warning and frost advisory around the region
A sharp cold snap brought frost advisories across parts of Central Florida Wednesday morning, with a freeze warning posted for Marion County. Forecasters say temperatures should rebound quickly into the 70s and then the low 80s by the weekend, with rain chances rising as a front approaches late Friday into Saturday.

The Central Florida Fair opens Thursday and runs through March 8, bringing the usual mix of rides and midway food, plus a pop-in nostalgia display themed around video-rental culture. If you’re headed out, expect busier traffic around West Colonial Drive during peak evening hours.
Arts spotlight: Wekiva Paint Out underway
