ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Orange Cunty Sheriff's Office has identified the man shot and killed by a deputy during the execution of a search warrant in an apartment as 32-year-old Tyrone Devon Henderson Bartley.
Sheriff John Mina said deputies and SWAT were executing a search warrant in the 5600 block of Lejeune Drive when they entered the apartment and encountered a man who reached behind a door.
Mina said that’s when a deputy shot the man, who was transported by ambulance to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.
The sheriff said Henderson was in an apartment in the 5600 block of Lejeune Drive when deputies and SWAT arrived with the warrant Friday afternoon. The sheriff said Henderson reached behind a door, and a deputy shot him. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.
Mina said a rifle was found behind the door where Henderson was reaching for it.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the fatal shooting. The deputy is currently on administrative leave pending the outcome of the FDLE investigation, which is standard protocol.
Mina said the search warrant stemmed from a case a few weeks ago when deputies found fentanyl, cocaine, and firearms during a domestic violence response. He said one of those firearms was stolen.
Mina added that body camera video of the incident exists, which he intends to release within 30 days.
