Gunfire erupted only a few feet from a crowded playground Wednesday, leaving a man and two teenagers dead.
The 5 p.m. triple slaying outside The Palms Apartments on Mercy Drive occurred as the complex's courtyards were jammed with playing children and residents returning from work.
Witnesses reported that as many as two dozen shots rang out, sending residents running for cover.
Police this morning confirmed two of the victims as Carlos Patterson, 16, and Cedric Garrett Jr., 18. Relatives identified Marcus Lorenzo Hayes, 29, as the third victim. Investigators with the Orlando Police Department have not released the motive in the slayings.
