Orlando police say a woman has been charged with murder after a man was found dead under suspicious circumstances near an apartment complex on Shenandoah Way on Monday morning.
What police say happened
According to the Orlando Police Department, officers responded at about 9:20 a.m. on Monday, November 9, to the dumpster area of Pacifico Apartments, at 5801 Shenandoah Way, where they found a man dead under what the department described as suspicious circumstances.
Police say homicide detectives investigated and identified Isidra Bautista Hernandez, 36, in connection with the man’s death. Members of the department’s TAC Unit located Hernandez and arrested her without incident, police say. The department says she has been charged with second-degree murder.
A charge is an allegation, not a finding of guilt. Hernandez is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. It is not clear from the department’s release whether she has entered a plea or retained an attorney.
What has not been released
Police have not released the name of the man who died, how he died, or what may have led to the alleged killing, and this report does not name him: the Orlando Police Department has not identified him in its release, and the Citizen does not publish victim-identifying detail beyond what officials release. Police say the homicide investigation remains active and ongoing, and that no additional details will be released at this time to protect the integrity of the investigation.
The apartment complex sits in the Azalea Park area of east Orlando. Readers with information can reach the Orlando Police Department directly; tips to this newsroom are on our News Tips page.
