Osceola Deputies Arrest Suspect in Kissimmee Hotel Killing

Authorities in Osceola County have arrested Shahzaib Ahmed Khan, 33, in connection with the fatal shooting of 37-year-old David Donahue-Alayon outside The Irlo Hotel in Kissimmee. Donahue-Alayon was found dead from a gunshot wound to the chest on September 3, and Khan was taken into custody in the Tangelo Park area of Orange County. Law enforcement officials have charged Khan with murder with a firearm and initially considered him armed and dangerous while searching for him. Investigators believe the victim and suspect knew each other and suspect the shooting may be related to a drug dispute, as both men have prior records involving drugs and weapons. Authorities have urged the public to avoid approaching Khan if encountered and to provide information anonymously through CrimeLine. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about violence in the tourist-heavy corridor along West Irlo Bronson Memorial Highway in Central Florida.
