Florida authorities are searching for a man seen on camera robbing an elderly woman in an attack outside an Orlando convenience store on Wednesday.
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office said the violent robbery took place outside a store on Curry Ford Road near the intersection of S. Goldenrod Road on Wednesday morning.
In surveillance footage shared by the sheriff’s office, the 83-year-old, who was not named, can be seen walking out of the store and attempting to get into her car with lottery winnings in her hand.
FOX 35 Orlando reported that the woman won $200.

At the same time, the suspect, believed to be Diego Stalin Tavarez Fleury, starts walking toward the woman from the sidewalk area behind her. He approaches her and tries to swipe the winnings out of her hand, then some sort of verbal altercation takes place.
Another man walks out of the store and appears to tell Fleury to leave.
Fleury then goes after the woman and starts trying to take the money while the other man tries to pull him off of the victim. Fleury drags the woman in the parking lot as she holds onto her winnings, and ultimately steals the money from her.
Another man attempted to come to the aid of the woman during the robbery, but was unable to stop Fleury from stealing her money and running off. (Orange County Sheriff’s Office)

The other man appears to try and get the money back for the woman, but Fleury shoves him and takes off running. As of Wednesday evening, he has not been located.
A store employee told FOX 35 that Fleury often hangs out near the front of the building and has caused problems in the past.

A Florida woman confessed to stabbing her 76-year-old roommate to death before covering his body with a tarp, stealing his truck and driving away from the scene, according to authorities.

In a news release, the sheriff’s office said deputies were dispatched to a home on Sunday after they received a report about a person who was not breathing. When they arrived at the home, they found a man, later identified as Paul De Wayne Bradley, who was dead.
Police said they tracked Giblin down in Bradley’s truck, which was missing from the driveway, in Sarasota County.
“As Charlotte County detectives questioned Giblin, she provided a confession to stabbing Bradley following an argument,” Sheriff Bill Prummell said in the release.
“After realizing that the victim was beyond help, Giblin then covered Bradley with a tarp and left the scene in the victim’s pickup truck,” Prummell added.
Online jail records show Giblin was charged with second-degree murder, as well as grand theft of a motor vehicle.
“I want to recognize my Major Crimes detectives who worked this case through the night and identified the suspect quickly,” Prummell said. “They truly show a dedication to their craft and the results are irrefutable. I also want to thank the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office for their quick actions in locating and detaining her based on the intelligence my team was able to share. As I have always said, Southwest Florida is fortunate to have law enforcement who work together so effectively for the people we serve.”

Giblin is being held without bond, according to the release.
There are two No Kings protests planned for the Treasure Coast; one in Stuart and one in Fort Pierce.
No Kings Day protests are scheduled for March 28, with over a thousand protests planned across the United States.
Organizers say the No Kings events will challenge President Donald Trump as he escalates “his attempts to control us.” Dozens of protests are planned across Florida, including two on the Treasure Coast.
Here’s what to know about the protests.
What is a No Kings protest?
No Kings is a nationwide protest organized in response to President Donald Trump and his administration.
“It is on us, the people, to show that we will fight to protect one another and our country,” according to the nokings.org website. “If he believes we will roll over and allow him to take our freedoms, he is mistaken.”
One core principle of No Kings is a commitment to nonviolent action. The organization’s website states participants should seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with dissenters and act lawfully.
