ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Deandre Florence, the man accused of killing a 15-year-old Boone High School student, refused a plea deal.
Channel 9 spoke with the lawyer for Florence, who says Florence will stand trial in the shooting death of Alejandro Vargas Martinez.
Investigators say Vargas was shot to death during a robbery in 2018.
Florence’s attorney alleges that law enforcement is using statements that best support a narrative of guilt, while also saying no one witnessed Florence commit the crime.
