The Orange County Sheriff’s Office is asking for help from the public to locate an 18-year-old suspect accused of murdering a teenager in Orlando last month.
According to OCSO, the murder suspect – identified as Ja’Corey Latrieus Lowery (a.k.a. “Trap”) – is wanted for his alleged involvement in the shooting death of 17-year-old Arthy Sony Cetoute.
The fatal shooting occurred shortly after 7 p.m. on Thursday, September 5, in the 1800 block of American Boulevard.
OCSO deputies quickly arrived on scene after receiving reports of shots being fired in the area. Upon arrival, deputies located a 17-year-old boy, Cetoute, who had sustained a gunshot wound.
Cetoute was transported to a local hospital in critical condition. Two days later, he died from his injuries at the hospital.
According to the sheriff’s office, detectives launched a homicide investigation, which led them to securing a warrant for the arrest of Lowery on a first-degree murder charge.
No further details were provided by OCSO regarding the shooting incident or what led detectives to identifying Lowery as a suspect in this case.
If you have any information regarding the whereabouts of Ja’Corey Latrieus Lowery, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office asks that you call 1-800-423-8477. In the event that your tip leads to Lowery’s arrest, you could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $5,000.
