A former Cypress Bay High School student was among the two people killed in the shootings during a Halloween celebration in Orlando on Friday, the City of Weston confirmed.
The city posted on X that Timothy Schmidt Jr., 19, was one of the victims, calling the news “heartbreaking.”
“We again find ourselves sending our sympathy [and] prayers to those killed and injured in a mass shooting in Orlando on Halloween,” the City of Weston said Saturday
We send our support to the families, friends and The Bay community,” the city continued.
The Nu Delta chapter of Alpha Epsilon Pi of the University of Central Florida set up an online fundraiser in his honor, where all proceeds will go toward his father Timothy Schmidt Sr. to be used for funeral expenses and all other associated costs.
“He was an extraordinary person, loving son, caring friend, talented soccer player, astounding teammate, kind soul, hardworking student and individual with an extremely warm heart and a witty sense of humor,” the fundraiser said.
