2 arrested in deadly Altamonte Springs shooting: deputies

Two people have been arrested in connection with a deadly shooting that occurred in Seminole County.

Not a random act of violence, deputies say

What we know:

Deputies responded Monday to a home on Forest Lake Drive where a man was fatally shot. Authorities say 18-year-old Tristin Tully Bennette and 24-year-old Natalia Precious Voltaire knew the victim and went to the home under the guise of helping clean. 

During an attempted theft of firearms, Voltaire allegedly shot the victim before both suspects fled in a white Chevrolet Camaro.

What we don't know:

The identity of the victim has not been released, nor have officials confirmed whether anyone else was present during the incident. Authorities have not detailed the exact number or types of firearms involved, or whether the suspects have any prior criminal history.

The backstory:

According to investigators, the killing appears to have stemmed from a planned robbery masked as a casual visit. Detectives said Bennette and Voltaire entered the victim’s home willingly and exploited a relationship or prior trust to carry out the attempted theft. The confrontation escalated, resulting in the shooting.

A "Be On the Lookout" (BOLO) alert was issued for the vehicle. Around 4:40 p.m. on Tuesday, the Camaro was located in the East Altamonte area near Northlake Boulevard. Altamonte Springs Police conducted a traffic stop, detaining all occupants. Several guns and other pieces of evidence were recovered from the vehicle, officials said.

What's next:

Voltaire and Bennette have been charged with first-degree murder, robbery with a firearm, and grand theft of a firearm. The suspects were booked into the John E. Polk Correctional Facility and are being held without bond.
