After three years, the Brevard County Sheriff's Office has announced that Frank Orwig, a 58-year-old father, was murdered. Tavery Houston, 19, has been arrested in connection with Orwig's death. The sheriff's office stated that Houston shot Orwig in a fight over money. Orwig’s sister, Kim Jethro, said the argument was over late rent. The arrest took several months to occur due to months of uncertainty over who Houston was involved.
