Deadly shooting outside Magic Mall in Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Police Department is investigating a deadly overnight shooting that took place at the Magic Mall in Orlando.

Officials arrived at the scene on Sunday morning around 2:00 a.m. According to reports, officers discovered 46-year-old Joseph U. Phillips suffering from a gunshot wound. The Orlando Fire Department pronounced him dead at the scene.

Police said Phillips had stepped outside D'Junction Island Bar and Restaurant when he was struck by a stray bullet during a dispute between other individuals.

Officials later arrested Keishawn Richards and charged him with manslaughter with a weapon.

"Before we opened the store in 2022, there was a shooting here a couple day before we opened up. That was scary because they had it all blocked off, like they had our building all the way blocked off," said a nearby business owner.

The Magic Mall is located at 2155 W Colonial Drive in Orlando.

The shooting remains under investigation.
