6 Jan
Summary
- Former officer Dennis Turner was shot by his father-in-law, Jeffery London.
- The fatal shooting occurred during an argument, possibly fueled by alcohol.
- London, who has a felony record, was apprehended 90 miles away.
A former police officer, Dennis Turner, lost his life last week during a domestic dispute, authorities confirmed. Turner, who had a 24-year career before his termination in 2019, was killed at a residence owned by his father-in-law, Jeffery London. The incident reportedly stemmed from an argument between the two men.
Investigators indicated that the dispute may have been exacerbated by alcohol consumption before London allegedly shot Turner multiple times in the chest. Turner's wife was present and witnessed the fatal shooting. The exact cause of the argument remains unclear.
Jeffery London, who is a convicted felon, fled the scene but was later apprehended by law enforcement during a traffic stop over 90 miles south of the shooting location. He is set to be extradited to Orlando to face charges related to the incident.
