Free Pitbull concert on Saturday to benefit injured Orlando Officer Kevin Valencia
ORLANDO, Fla. (FOX 35 ORLANDO) - Thousands of people are expected to turn out for a free concert by Global Superstar Pitbull on Saturday night in Orlando.
The free concert will be held from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m at the Central Florida Fairgrounds.
The concert is in honor of injured Orlando Officer Kevin Valencia. He was shot in the head during a standoff in June 2018, putting him in a coma that he has yet to come out of. Proceeds will go to him.
Nacho and DJ Vice will also be performing.
Florida attorney Dan Newlin, who used to be a former law enforcement officer, said that "We can never allow our community to forget Officer Kevin Valencia and how he and his family continue to suffer and fight today. As a community, it is important that we show the highest level of respect and honor for Officer Kevin Valencia and having a free community concert is a great way to show our support for the Valencia family."
Newlin also said "Don't bring anything to the concert; just come show your support for the Valencia family."
