Orange County murder detectives are looking for two people of interest in the shooting death of DeAnthony Ryles last month.
Detectives identified the persons of interest as 23-year-old Lorenzo Holmes and 22-year-old Willie Bryant III.
DeAnthony "D.A." Ryles was gunned down around 2:43 a.m. May 21 near the intersection of Lee Road and Kingswood Drive. Ryles and his friends first encountered another group of men at Firestone Live in downtown Orlando, and then later met at aMcDonald'srestaurant north of downtown.
The two groups of men began shooting at each other as they drove along Lee Road. Ryles was injured during the shooting and crashed his car into the Fifth Third bank on Lee Road.
Passengers who were riding in his car bailed and left Ryles at the scene where he died. Orange County Jail records show Ryles was arrested several times on gun, drug and theft charges in the past.
Holmes is also a felon who was found guilty of carrying a concealed firearm in 2009. Public records show Bryant has not been arrested in Orange County as an adult.
