ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – A man was arrested Thursday in connection to a shooting that killed a 53-year-old man in 2024.
Dey’Montae Seright, 22, faces a charge of manslaughter with a firearm in the death of Andre Pierre Alloway, who was shot May 20 in the area of 22nd Street and Rio Grande Avenue, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
The affidavit for Seright’s arrest warrant states Alloway was found lying on a sidewalk with a gunshot wound to his head. Alloway was taken to a hospital where he was later pronounced dead, investigators said.
The investigation led deputies to a liquor store, which provided surveillance video showing a running man dressed in all black — including a face mask — remove his shirt and leave it near a house along 24th Street, the affidavit states, adding that the shirt was retrieved and summitted for DNA processing.
In July, deputies responded to a weapons violation in the 2800 block of Rio Lane and located a 9mm shell casing that came from the same gun used in the May shooting, the sheriff’s office said. Investigators collected DNA from several people living at the home, where Seright was renting a room, and a search warrant was soon executed, according to the affidavit.
During the search, deputies found a loaded Taurus 9mm handgun — noting a light attached to the gun was charging, hooked up to an Xbox in Seright’s room — which had been reported stolen out of Orange County, the affidavit states.
The gun was later determined to be the weapon used in the May shooting, investigators said. Additionally, Seright in October was found to be “a possible contributor to the mixed DNA profile obtained from” the discarded T-shirt, according to the affidavit.
