According to the OCSO Incident Report, Lucy Barker, 50, of Apopka said she and several other people were standing outside the residence when Wirz and two other men pulled up and left their vehicle to talk to people on the property. Wirz and another man who was in the car asked if Barker or any of the other women had drugs. The women said no and went inside.
Barker came back outside shortly after to see Wirz driving in circles in front of her home, and yelled at him to stop. She said she saw him get out of the truck and walk over to another man.
"Get my s--- or get my money… I'll shoot you if you don't," Barker heard Wirz say to a man.
Later than night, Barker reported hearing four gunshots, and finding the two victims in different parts of the residence with wounds.
The victims were identified as Jinel Galva, and Kimberly Brigham. Both women were transported to the Orlando Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening wounds.
A passenger in the truck with Wirz when he was pulled over was questioned, but not charged with a crime.
This incident is still under investigation according to the OCSO. The Apopka Voice will update this story as more details are known.
