Seminole County teen charged as adult in attempted murder case

Seminole County prosecutors have turned a juvenile arrest into an adult attempted-murder case against 17-year-old Zebron Trenton Biggs, after investigators tied him to two shootings at the same Altamonte Springs home. He is being held without bond.

The case centers on a 14-year-old girl identified in the affidavit as the victim and on a dispute that escalated into gunfire in a residential neighborhood. Investigators say Biggs was arrested May 27 after deputies linked him to shootings at the home on May 22 and again on May 24. No one was injured in either incident.

Court records say Biggs admitted to shooting at the home both times. Prosecutors upgraded the matter to adult court in late June and charged him with two counts of attempted first-degree premeditated murder, signaling that investigators viewed the allegations as deliberate and repeated rather than a one-time confrontation.

The affidavit adds more detail about what investigators say drove the violence. Biggs told an Orlando police officer that he fired at the home “in an attempt to kill” the girl because he believed she had lied about her age and because he did not want to have a baby with a 14-year-old. That statement placed intent at the center of the prosecution and elevated the case beyond a juvenile disturbance.

Investigators also cited video evidence from a neighbor’s surveillance camera. The footage showed a black SUV slowing in front of the home before roughly seven shots were heard. Deputies said the vehicle was consistent with one registered to Biggs’ mother. The affidavit further says Biggs later went to the Altamonte Mall looking for the girl before returning to her home and opening fire again.

The next court date is July 6. For the victim’s household and for the surrounding Altamonte Springs neighborhood, the case has become a stark example of how a teenage dispute can turn into a public-safety emergency when a gun is brought back to the same block twice.
