As part of the Orange County Sheriff’s Office’s commitment to transparency, it is our policy to release body-worn camera video of critical incidents, including deputy-involved shootings. We believe it is important for our community to have access to the full context of these incidents, rather than rely on short snippets they may see elsewhere.

On June 23, 2025, at approximately 12:45 p.m., the Orange County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a woman who said her boyfriend had been smoking drugs and held her against her will with a knife since the night before. Deputies responded to the scene at the Isles at East Millenia Apartments on Lake Fountain Drive and spoke with the woman, who confirmed her boyfriend - 57-year-old Todd Hannigan - had threatened her with a knife.

Over the course of the next hour or so, deputies tried to communicate with Hannigan, who was barricaded inside an apartment. The victim, his girlfriend, was out of the apartment and not in danger. Patrol deputies – who were also hostage negotiators and SWAT team operators – responded. After trying to talk with Hannigan for several hours, at one point, he came out of a room and moved toward the deputies with a knife, and two deputies fired their service weapons, striking him.

Paramedics, who were already staging at the scene, transported Hannigan to the hospital, where he later died.

As is our standard procedure, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement is investigating the shooting and will turn over its findings to the State Attorney’s Office for review. Once that process is completed, OCSO will conduct its own internal investigation. The deputies who fired their service weapons are on temporary, paid administrative leave pending the initial FDLE review.

The video is being released pursuant to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office Release of Video Recordings in Critical Incidents policy. The investigation into the shooting is still under way.
