ORLANDO, Fla. -- This 24/7 award-winning internet-based news outlet serving the I-4 corridor counties of Volusia, Seminole and Orange counties, pledges its ongoing support for Orlando Police Chief John Mina and his cops in their sworn mission to serve and protect the public, even at their own peril as witnessed by the ultimate sacrifice made by Master Sgt. Debra Clayton, shot and killed earlier today by a lone gunman still on the lose.
A massive manhunt is underway in greater Orlando for the suspect, Markeith Lloyd. Police Chief Mina didn't mince words when he said his No. 1 priority and that of his agency today is LLoyd's apprehension.
“It doesn’t matter where he goes,” Mina said at a press conference. “We’ll track him to the ends of the Earth.”
Dead or alive, Headline Surfer supports that apprehension of this suspect who was already previously wanted on a prior murder charge when he allegedly gunned down Clayton in cold blood.
