Orlando’s shooting suspect, Jason Rodriguez, 40, was arrested a little after 2 p.m.at his mother’s apartment at the intersection of Curry Ford Road and State Road 436.

Rodriguez, who is suspected of killing one person and wounding five others, worked for Reynolds Smith & Hills, an architectural engineering firm, located at the eight floor of the 1000 Legion’s Place, where the shooting took place.

A spokesman for the firm confirmed that Rodriguez was terminated in June 2007 for “a performance issue,” though a different company employee said he was let go as part of a larger layoff.

At RS&H, he did architectural work, said Renato Gonzalez, a manager in the firm’s DeLand office. Gonzalez described Rodriguez’s separation from the company as part of a larger company layoff.

“I know that we was not very happy with the layoff,” said Gonzalez, who recalled that Rodriguez made disgruntled comments when he left the firm, though nothing that indicated he would resort violence.

“He took it a little worse than most people.”

RS&H has 11 offices across Florida, including in DeLand, Merritt Island and Tampa.

Records show he filed for bankruptcy in Orlando in September.
