On June 7th, 2025, Orange County deputies responded to a 911 call reporting a man acting erratically at a home on North Ortman Drive. The man’s mother met deputies in a nearby parking lot and said her son, Terry Washington Jr., was armed with a knife.

When officers arrived at the residence, they spoke with the suspect’s father and attempted to de-escalate the situation for several minutes. Washington had reportedly been diagnosed with schizophrenia and was off his medication at the time, according to his family.

As deputies stood in the hallway, Washington suddenly burst out of the bedroom holding a knife and charged at one of them. According to the sheriff’s office, he attempted to stab a deputy and reached for the officer’s firearm. One deputy opened fire, striking Washington multiple times.

The suspect was taken to a nearby hospital, where he later died. One deputy suffered a head injury after falling during the struggle.

The Orange County Sheriff's Office is leading the investigation in accordance with Florida protocols.
