+ Cold case murder solved

A seven-year investigation into the shootings of two men that left one of them dead has been solved, the Winter Garden Police Department announced Monday.

Two men have been arrested in the case and additional arrests could be made, police said.

The shootings occurred just before 10:30 p.m. on Jan. 10, 2007, at 1329 Fettler Way at the Westside Townhomes.

One of the victims — Leon Sylvester Hart — received critical injuries, causing him to need surgery, and the other victim — Reginald Terrance Jones — later was pronounced dead at the hospital. The case had been under investigation since the shootings occurred, police said, and was assigned to a city police cold case investigator about two years ago.

“Through witness and victim testimony and evidence collected at the crime scene, investigators were able to identify several suspects involved in this case,” police said. “At this time, [25-year-old] Webster Deaunt Cooper and [27-year-old] D’Shay Lamar Hunter have been charged and arrested for felony murder. The Winter Garden Police Department anticipates more arrest in the future.”
