ORLANDO -- Investigators now believe a deadly triple shooting in Orlando last month likely was connected to drugs.

Carlos Patterson, 16, Cedric Garrett Jr., 18 and Marcus Hayes, 29, died after a shooting at the Palms Apartments July 30.

The Orlando Sentinel reported that the arrest affidavit for one suspect showed the whole thing may have started over an argument for drugs and that the suspect, Marcus Walker, may have planned a set up.

The affidavit said one of the victims was actually one of Walker’s accomplices that got shot by accident.

Walker is in custody.

Police are searching for two other men.
