ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -A man who fatally shot a former co-worker and wounded five others in a downtown Orlando office building five years ago has died in prison.
A spokesman with the Florida Department of Corrections says Jason Rodriguez died Tuesday morning while at the Columbia Correctional Institution-Annex.
DOC spokesman Alberto Moscoso says a medical examiner will determine the cause of death. The Florida Department of Law Enforcement also is investigating.
Rodriguez was convicted of killing his co-worker, but an appellate court ordered a new trial because the judge in the case mistakenly allowed the jury to hear certain instructions before deliberating.
Last December, Rodriguez made a surprise plea of no contest to second-degree murder.
Prosecutors had said that Rodriguez shot his colleagues out of anger that he wasn't getting unemployment benefits.
