New video released in deadly shooting involving deputy inside Orlando-area 7-Eleven

ORLANDO, Fla. - Newly released body camera footage shows the moments leading up to a deadly deputy-involved shooting that occurred last month inside a 7-Eleven on West Oak Ridge Road.

The video shows an Orange County sheriff's deputy shooting a man, identified as 19-year-old Tristan Mayberry, in the candy aisle of the convenience store. The Orange County Sheriff's Office reports that deputies were conducting surveillance at a nearby home when they saw Mayberry, a suspected gang member, leave the residence.

Deputies followed Mayberry to the 7-Eleven, where an attempt to confront him quickly escalated into chaos.

RELATED: Teen with suspected gang ties shot, killed by Orange County deputy at 7-Eleven, sheriff says

In the video, a deputy is seen entering the store and approaching Mayberry and a friend, who have their backs to the deputy.

"Boss man! You know, only one of you guys can be riding on a scooter, right?" the deputy asks.

Mayberry, seen holding a phone in his right hand and a bottled beverage in his left hand, turns around and replies, "No, sir. I didn't know that."

Mayberry then turns and walks away from the deputy down an aisle.

"Come here, man! Come here, dude!" the deputy says, asking Mayberry to present some identification.

As the deputy follows Mayberry down the aisle and around a corner to the left, the deputy points his weapon at the teen and commands him to stop.

"Hey! Stop! Stop!" the deputy commands, but Mayberry continues and is met by a second deputy approaching him in the adjacent aisle.

The second deputy, with his gun drawn, commands Mayberry to put up his hands as the teen turns around and begins walking toward the first deputy, who then fires two rounds at Mayberry.

Mayberry is heard screaming and dropping to the ground.

The second deputy holsters his gun and kneels down over Mayberry, but then a struggle ensues. The second deputy can be heard shouting at Mayberry repeatedly, "Don't grab!"

According to deputies, Mayberry ignored their commands and attempted to reach for a 9mm handgun with an extended magazine that was in his waistband. The sheriff's office said the second deputy was attempting to secure that gun during the struggle. That is when the first deputy fired six more rounds at Mayberry.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the incident.

Commentary | Commentary: Education policy like Florida’s can address nation’s nursing shortage

travel nursing orlando

Moreover,  nearly one in four nurses are “very likely” to leave their job this year, up from just 8% in 2023. Alarmingly, 88% of nurses believe that staffing shortages are having a “detrimental impact on patient care.” All of this is unwelcome news at a time when Florida is estimated to have 59,000 fewer nurses than it needs to meet demand in the years ahead.

It is crucial to acknowledge that this crisis cannot be resolved overnight. While policymakers are rightly focused on solutions like protecting health care workers from violence and preventing burnout, it is equally important for them to work toward long-term reforms that will fortify the future nursing workforce.

To address the health care workforce crisis, policymakers should focus on solutions that grow the pipeline of qualified students admitted to and successfully graduating from nursing schools. Doing so will increase the number of well-equipped nurses taking care of patients and enjoying long, successful careers.

At Florida International University’s Nicole Wertheim College of Nursing and Health Sciences, we have found one of the most effective ways to bolster this pipeline is by offering academic-practice partnerships between nursing schools and local providers, hospitals and health systems. These partnerships provide students with scholarships and job security once they graduate. Job security also helps incentivize more nurses to remain in South Florida after graduation.

An important part of making this partnership flourish is fostering an inclusive and supportive environment that ensures our diverse student body feels comfortable, empowered and heard. Once our students graduate and begin their nursing careers at our partner provider organizations in South Florida, they are in the best position to understand the unique identities and socio-economic background of their patients, helping to improve health care outcomes.

This model has proven successful for us and our partners, and we hope to be a model for other schools of nursing. But we know we cannot do it alone.

In order to meet future demand and fill the gap of as many as 450,000 nurses expected by 2025, we must more than double the number of new nursing graduates entering and staying in the nursing workforce every year for three years. To meet these challenges head-on, policymakers at the state and federal levels should prioritize funding for critical nursing education programs that are working tirelessly to grow America’s nursing pipeline.

Programs like Florida’s Linking Industry to Nursing Education and Prepping Institutions, Programs, Employers, and Learners through Incentives for Nursing Education , which providing increased funding to nursing schools that meet certain requirements, are critical to ensuring schools have the capacity and resources necessary to grow America’s nursing workforce and mitigate the impact shortages have on our health care system. Florida’s substantial commitment to nursing schools — $125 million in the 2022-2023 fiscal year alone — is vital to easing the crisis and is one potential reason why Florida’s nurse vacancy rate is now below the national average .

Adopting similar programs to those in Florida could boost the nursing pipeline nationwide. Investing in nursing schools that attract, retain and connect students to health care facilities in their local communities is one of the best ways policymakers can help reverse the nursing shortage, ensure better access to care for patients, and build a strong, sustainable and more diverse nursing workforce.
