Deputies: Son fatally shoots mother at home near Winter Garden

Orange County Sheriff’s Deputies arrested Wueizman Leal, 41, after he allegedly shot and killed his 59-year-old mother Friday evening during an argument at a home near Winter Garden, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies were called shortly after 8:45 p.m. to a fight at a home on Bridgewater Crossings Boulevard near Ficquette and Winter Garden Vineland roads, Orange County Deputy Ingrid Tejada-Monforte said.

When deputies arrived at the home, they heard people arguing followed by gunfire, Tejada-Monforte said.

Investigators said they apprehended Leal while he was trying to leave the home.

His mother, Tania Perez Creek , was shot multiple times, deputies said. She was taken to Florida Hospital Winter Garden where she later died from her injuries, deputies said.

The man's stepfather was also at the home when the woman was shot, Tejada-Monforte said.

The shooting remains under investigation.
