Man Accused of Shooting at Woman in Orange County Courthouse Parking Garage Arrested
What happened and where: Orange County deputies say a 26-year-old man was arrested after an incident in which a woman was shot in the Orange County Courthouse parking garage. Authorities say the courthouse was placed on lockdown for several hours as investigators worked the scene.
Chronology and agency action: The Orange County Sheriff’s Office alleges the suspect, identified as Kenneth Logan Jr., broke into the woman’s vehicle and waited for her to exit the courthouse. Deputies allege he then fired two shots at the woman and struck her in the back of the head with the gun. The sheriff’s office carried out a multi-hour response that included securing the courthouse and conducting a search that ultimately led to the suspect’s arrest, though officials have not disclosed when or where the arrest occurred.
Allegations versus proven facts: The agency’s account lists the actions it attributes to the suspect—vehicle break-in, waiting for the victim, and firing two shots that included contact to the victim’s head. Those actions are described by deputies as allegations; the listed criminal charges filed or announced by the agency include attempted first-degree murder with a firearm, two counts of aggravated battery with a firearm (domestic violence), armed burglary with a firearm, burglary of a conveyance with assault and battery, robbery with a firearm, aggravated stalking (domestic violence), false imprisonment (with a weapon), and battery (domestic violence).
Current case status: Authorities have said the suspect faces the charges above and could appear before a judge as early as Thursday. The sheriff’s office has not released additional details about the arrest location or any court filings to date.
