WP High Pays Tribute to Roger Trindade
Part of Homecoming Celebration
A tribute to Winter Park High School student Roger Trindade, who died October 18, will take place at the Central Park main stage tomorrow, October 26, at 6:00 p.m.
The tribute is part of Winter Park High School’s Homecoming celebration, which will include a parade down Park Avenue from Webster to Lyman from 5:00 to 6:00 pm. Side streets to Park Avenue will be closed during that hour for the passing of the parade.
Police Investigation Ongoing
The Winter Park Police Department investigation into Roger Trindade’s death continues. Police Chief Michael Deal told the Voice, “The Winter Park Police Department is committed to doing a thorough, unbiased investigation regarding the tragic death of Roger Trindade.
“Since day one, we have treated Roger’s death as a criminal investigation. As such, we have dedicated the significant amount of resources necessary to present a prosecutable case. As in all cases of criminal investigation, especially those involving juveniles, our investigation must proceed with care and discretion – and this may take some time.
“We are maintaining contact with Roger’s family and will continue to make the privacy and interests of the family a priority. We are aware and understand the safety concerns of our citizens to include parents and students, and we are committed to ensuring Park Avenue and all of our schools remain safe places.”
Thanks for the heads up about speaking to the Chief. I’ll have to get with him and explain the politics in WP.
Warner seems to have little to do but harass the author of this valued community publication. The article written was supportive of the Winter Park police department and informative. Rather than focusing on the message you shoot the messenger and focus on politics versus the tragedy of this event in our community! Sheesh! There is little local coverage, this is helpful. Rather than perpetuate division, work to create a new landscape. We have ’nuff problems in this world without you fanning the flames. Down Pitt, down boy!
