Grand Jury Indicts Woman for Second Degree Murder After Road Rage Incident Turns Fatal

A grand jury in Orange County has indicted 47-year-old Tina Allgeo on charges of second degree murder following the fatal shooting of Mihail Tsvetkov. The indictment, handed down on Tuesday, February 25, comes after an investigation into an incident that occurred on December 2, 2024.

On that December afternoon, Orlando Police responded to a 911 call at the intersection of E. Colonial Drive and Primrose Drive. Officers arrived to find Tsvetkov suffering from a gunshot wound in the middle of the road. Investigators determined that a road rage altercation between Allgeo and Tsvetkov had escalated, culminating in Allgeo discharging her firearm.

In addition to the second degree murder charge—which specifies the use of a firearm—Allgeo is also facing charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. State Attorney Monique Worrell emphasized the case’s significance. “This is a case of great public importance that needed to be reviewed by the Grand Jury to determine whether the evidence supported an indictment,” she said. Worrell added that her office is committed to reducing gun violence in the community and vowed that incidents of this nature will be taken very seriously.

Following the indictment, Allgeo was booked into the Orange County jail on Wednesday, February 26, and is currently being held without bond. As the case remains active, further details have yet to be released, and the judicial process is ongoing.

Interested parties are encouraged to check the Orange County Clerk of Court’s website for the latest updates on upcoming court hearings.

Legal experts note that while the indictment marks a significant step in the investigation, the charges remain allegations, and Allgeo is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
