MINNEOLA, Fla.—It’s been one year since Lake County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to the call that claimed the life of Master Deputy Bradley Link and Saturday, a stretch of U.S. Highway 27 in Minneola was renamed in his honor.

The Minneola City Council adopted the resolution earlier this year that renamed the portion of the roadway between Division Street and County Road 561. Link’s parents, Daniel and Christi, accepted the resolution and were in attendance for the official renaming on Saturday, along with Link’s wife, Brittany, members of LCSO’s command staff and numerous deputies. Minneola Mayor Pat Kelley led the ceremony, which included an invocation by LCSO Chaplain Joshua Douglas, and remarks were given by LCSO Major Todd English, Pamela Jones of Congressman Daniel Webster’s office, and State Representative Taylor Yarkosky.

On Aug. 2, 2024, deputies responded to an altercation in unincorporated Eustis and subsequent well-being check. Link and K9 Master Deputy Harold Howell, along with several other deputies, were performing the well-being check at the home Julie and Michael Sulpizio shared with their adult daughters, Savannah and Cheyenne Sulpizio, following a Baker Act of Julie Sulpizio. After finding two dead dogs in the yard and a window with a broken screen, Link made multiple unanswered announcements over his PA system, at the home located at 38144 Brookside Drive. Link, Howell and three other deputies attempted to enter the Sulpizio home shortly after 9 p.m. They entered through the rear door near the driveway that opened to a small laundry room and into a hallway that goes left and right.

Link approached the hallway and announced he was going left and indicated Howell should go right. As Link walked into the hallway, his bodycam picked up several frames of what appeared to be a male wearing a black shirt or body armor, with a rifle, positioned on the arm of a couch, ready to ambush deputies. Link did not see the man because he was looking left down the hallway, and the bodycam was facing forward, Sheriff Peyton Grinnell said last year.

Link entered the hallway and the suspect, believed to be Michael Sulpizio, opened fire, shooting Link in the back several times, and Howell was shot in the arm. Howell and the other deputies were forced to retreat out of the residence and Link was immobilized, suffering multiple gunshot wounds. He attempted to crawl on his back to cover but was unsuccessful. Link emptied his duty weapon of all rounds, Grinnell said, and moved his hand in what appeared to be an attempt to answer his radio as his ID number was called out but was also unsuccessful. He was shot several more times.

Link’s bodycam continued to record audio and video and was pointed toward the ceiling, and at 9:24 p.m., a female yelled, “My king kill all of you. You are Lucifer’s children,” in response to deputies asking for Link’s release.

Two minutes later, the Street Crimes team, comprised of Deputy Stefano Gargano, Deputy Corey LaBrecque, Deputy Matthew Green and Cpl. Tyler Palmer, entered the home, with Gargano in the lead using a ballistic shield as cover. It was later revealed Gargano insisted he go first because he was the only member of the team who did not have children. As he approached the threshold of the hallway, Gargano was shot through the wall multiple times by high-caliber rounds, causing him to become incapacitated. The team returned fire and extracted Gargano. LaBrecque immediately began assessing and treating Gargano’s injuries and accompanied Gargano in the ambulance as he was transported to HCA Florida Lake Monroe Hospital as a trauma alert.

Just after 11 p.m. deputies heard two rapid gunshots and a third shot a few minutes later and LCSO’s SWAT Team ripped a wall off the residence and extracted Link. He was rushed to a waiting ambulance for transport to a landing zone so he could be flown out for treatment. While en route, the decision was made to transport him to AdventHealth Waterman in Tavares, where he was ultimately pronounced deceased.

As the SWAT Team cleared the home, they found two deceased females, identified as Savannah and Cheyenne Sulpizio, on the couch, dead from what appeared to be self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head. Michael Sulpizio was found on the couch with a gunshot wound and a faint pulse. He was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased.

A search of the home revealed a stockpile of 20 firearms placed strategically around the home. Ammunition, food and water, medical bags and bugout bags, in addition to anti-government propaganda were also found. No illegal drugs were found in the home. Accused of the plotting the crimes, Julie Sulpizio was later arrested for a multitude of charges. She’s been found incompetent to stand trial twice and was involuntarily committed to the Department of Children and Families in late May.

If found competent at a later date, she is facing charges of principal to first degree murder of a law enforcement officer, conspiracy to commit first degree murder, three counts of principal to attempted first degree murder of a law enforcement officer, three counts of battery and one count of battery on a law enforcement officer

Gargano returned to light duty in May and Howell continues to recover from his injuries.

Grandmother seeks life insurance payout for suspects in deputy ambush

Eustis, Inside Scoop, Tavares, Unincorporated Lake / By Marilyn M. Aciego

TAVARES, Fla.— The grandmother of two young women involved in the ambush of Lake County Sheriff’s Office deputies last year has filed a claim on their life insurance policies, Inside Lake uncovered in a recent court filing.

According to a complaint for interpleader filed by the Gerber Life Insurance Company (GLIC,) Linda Jefferson, mother of Julie Sulpizio and grandmother of Cheyenne and Savannah Sulpizio, is attempting to collect a total of $50,000 on two life insurance policies — $30,000 for Cheyenne Sulpizio and $20,000 for Savannah Sulpizio.

An interpleader is a legal tool that allows someone involved in a lawsuit—usually the party holding disputed property or funds—to ask the court to decide who among multiple claimants is legally entitled to it.

Julie Sulpizio is accused of starting an altercation with her neighbors on Brookside Drive in unincorporated Eustis on Aug. 2, 2024. LCSO responded to the altercation and removed Julie Sulpizio from the scene under a Baker Act. After she made concerning statements, deputies performed well-being check at her home, just down the street from the original call, and during that check, they were ambushed by Julie Sulpizio’s husband, Michael and their daughters, Cheyenne and Savannah. Cheyenne and Savannah are the biological daughters of Julie Sulpizio and the adopted daughters of Michael. Master Deputy Bradley Link was shot and suffered fatal wounds, and K9 Master Deputy Howell was shot in the wrist. In a subsequent rescue attempt, Deputy Stefano Gargano was shot multiple times. Gargano returned to light duty earlier last month; Howell continues to recover from his injuries.

Evidence revealed Michael, Cheyenne and Savannah Sulpizio all participated in the attack and opened fire on the deputies; all three were found dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds after LCSO’s SWAT Team entered the home, Sheriff Peyton Grinnell said last year. After Julie Sulpizio’s release from her Baker Act, she was arrested for principal to first degree murder of a law enforcement officer, conspiracy to commit first degree murder, three counts of principal to attempted first degree murder of a law enforcement officer, three counts of battery and one count of battery on a law enforcement officer.

The interpleader complaint, filed in Lake County, states, following Julie Sulpizio’s arrest, a Durable Financial Power of Attorney was executed on Aug. 26, 2024. The power of attorney appointed Jefferson as Julie Sulpizio’s agent, and on Sept.4 — one month and one day after the altercation that resulted in the murder of Link and the attempted murders of Howell and Gargano, Jefferson provided Gerber Life Insurance Company with a notice of death related to the life insurance policies.

In its filing, GLIC states it is at risk of facing multiple claims to the funds and is unable to determine who is legally entitled to the money and is asking the court to make the decision. According to the complaint, Jefferson has never been named a beneficiary to either policy, and GLIC is unsure if Julie Sulpizio was legally competent when she executed the power of attorney. She has been found incompetent to stand trial for her criminal charges twice this year.

GLIC also cites Florida’s slayer statute, which may prohibit Julie Sulpizio from receiving any proceeds due to her involvement in the tragic incident. The statute could also affect Michael Sulpizio’s estate, because he outlived both daughters, potentially entitling his estate to a claim. However, his involvement in the murder and attempted murders could disqualify his estate under the same statute.

Because of the legal uncertainties, GLIC is asking the court to make a final determination regarding distribution of the insurance funds.

Woman accused of murdering deputy, attempted murder of 2 others, found incompetent again

Eustis, Inside Scoop, Tavares, Unincorporated Lake / By Marilyn M. Aciego

TAVARES, Fla.—The woman accused of plotting to kill Lake County Sheriff’s Office deputies last year has been found incompetent to proceed to trial for the second time in three months.

In an order by Circuit Judge Brian Welke, he states Julie Ann Sulpizio, “The Defendant is not competent to proceed due to Psychotic Spectrum Disorder and Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorder, r/o Schizoaffective Disorder, Bipolar type.”

Sulpizio, 49, will be involuntarily committed to the Department of Children and Families, because she “…is manifestly incapable of surviving alone or with the help of willing and responsible family or friends, including available alternative services, and, without treatment, the Defendant is likely to suffer from neglect or refuse to care for herself and such neglect or refusal poses a real and present threat of substantial harm to the Defendant’s wellbeing; and, (2) There is a substantial likelihood that in the near future the Defendant will inflict serious bodily harm on herself or another person, as evidenced by recent behavior causing, attempting, or threatening such harm,” the order states.

Sulpizio was first declared incompetent in February to stand trial for charges stemming from the Aug. 2, 2024, ambush attack outside Eustis that killed LCSO Master Deputy Bradley Link and wounded K9 Master Deputy Harold Howell and Deputy Stefano Gargano. Sulpizio is accused of starting an altercation with her neighbors on Brookside Drive in unincorporated Eustis. LCSO responded to the altercation and during a well-being check at her home, just down the street from the original call, deputies were ambushed. Link was shot and suffered fatal wounds, and in an immediate rescue attempt of Link, Howell was shot in the wrist and in a subsequent rescue attempt, Gargano was shot multiple times. Gargano returned to light duty earlier this month; Howell continues to recover from his injuries.

Evidence revealed Julie’s husband, Michael, and daughters, Cheyenne and Savannah, all participated in the attack and opened fire on the deputies; all three were found dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds after LCSO’s SWAT Team entered the home.

Julie Sulpizio, removed from the scene by deputies before the shootings occurred, was charged with a multitude of crimes. If found competent at a later date, she is facing charges of principal to first degree murder of a law enforcement officer, conspiracy to commit first degree murder, three counts of principal to attempted first degree murder of a law enforcement officer, three counts of battery and one count of battery on a law enforcement officer.

TAVARES, Fla.—Lake County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Stefano Gargano returned to temporary light duty Monday, a little more than nine months after he was shot multiple times.

On Aug. 2, 2024, Gargano was shot, suffering traumatic injuries, during a rescue attempt of Master Deputy Bradley Link. Link and K9 Master Deputy Harold Howell, along with several other deputies, were performing a well-being check at the home Julie and Michael Sulpizio shared with their adult daughters, Savannah and Cheyenne Sulpizio, located 38144 Brookside Drive in unincorporated Eustis, following a Baker Act of Julie Sulpizio. After finding two dead dogs in the yard, a window with a broken screen and multiple announcements made by Link over his PA system, shortly after 9 p.m., Link, Howell and three other deputies attempted to enter the Sulpizio home. They entered through the rear door near the driveway that opens to a small laundry room and leads into a hallway that goes left and right.

Two minutes later the Street Crimes team, comprised of Deputy Corey LaBrecque, Deputy Matthew Green, Cpl. Tyler Palmer and Gargano entered the home, with Gargano in the lead with a ballistic shield as cover. It was later revealed Gargano insisted he go first because he was the only member of the team who did not have children. As he approached the threshold of the hallway, Gargano was shot through the wall multiple times, by high-caliber rounds, causing him to become incapacitated. The team returned fire and extracted Gargano. LaBrecque immediately began assessing and treating Gargano’s injuries, and accompanied Gargano in the ambulance as he was transported to HCA Florida Lake Monroe Hospital as a trauma alert.

As the SWAT Team cleared the home, they found two deceased females on the couch, dead from what appeared to be self-inflicted gunshot wounds to the head. Michael Sulpizio was found on the couch with a gunshot wound and a faint pulse. He was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased.

In March, the Street Crimes team and Howell, along with many others, were honored by LCSO for their actions that tragic evening. Gargano, LaBrecque, Green and Palmer were each awarded the Medal of Honor; LaBrecque was awarded the Lifesaving Medal, Howell was awarded the Medal of Valor; and both Gargano and Howell were awarded the Purple Heart, at the ceremony in Leesburg. The three deputies who entered the home with Link and Howell, Master Deputy Christopher Kessinger, Deputy Stephen Snow, and Sgt. Christopher Stevens, were each awarded the Medal of Valor. Link was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor.

Gargano returned to temporary light duty Monday and Howell continues to recover from his injuries.

Eustis, Inside Scoop, Tavares / By Marilyn M. Aciego

TAVARES, Fla.—A competency review hearing for the lone survivor of a family deputies say plotted to kill them last year is scheduled for next month.

Julie Ann Sulpizio was declared incompetent to stand trial in February for charges stemming from the August 2024 ambush attack outside Eustis that killed Lake County Sheriff’s Office Master Deputy Bradley Link and wounded K9 Master Deputy Harold Howell and Deputy Stefano Gargano.

According to Circuit Judge Brian Welke’s order to transport and notice of hearing, the court has been noticed Sulpizio “is competent to proceed, or otherwise no longer meets criteria for continued commitment…” The order goes on to state Sulpizio must be delivered to the appropriate detention facility within seven days of the order, filed late Tuesday afternoon.

Sulpizio, 48, is accused of starting an altercation with her neighbors on Brookside Drive in unincorporated Eustis on Aug. 2, 2024. LCSO responded to the altercation and during a well-being check at her home, just down the street from the original call, deputies were ambushed. Link was shot and suffered fatal wounds, and in an immediate rescue attempt of Link, Howell was shot in the wrist and in a subsequent rescue attempt, Gargano was shot multiple times. Howell and Gargano have not returned to duty and continue to recover from their injuries.

Evidence at the scene revealed Julie’s husband, Michael, and daughters, Cheyenne and Savannah, all participated in the attack and opened fire on the deputies; all three were found dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds after LCSO’s SWAT Team entered the home.

If declared competent, Sulpizio is facing a multitude of charges, including principal to first degree murder of a law enforcement officer, conspiracy to commit first degree murder, three counts of principal to attempted first degree murder of a law enforcement officer, three counts of battery and one count of battery on a law enforcement officer.

MARYLAND—For 13 years, Eustis Police Chief Craig Capri has been riding his bicycle to honor the victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and fallen law enforcement officers around the country during the Tour de Force 9/11 Memorial Bike Ride, and this year the ride means a bit more— he is riding for fallen Lake County Sheriff’s Office Master Deputy Bradley Link.

The memorial ride started in 2002 and has since evolved into honoring both the victims of 9/11 and law enforcement officers who have died in the line of duty.

“This year I’m dedicating my ride to Master Deputy Link, who made the ultimate sacrifice” Capri said. “(The loss of Link) touched everybody in Lake County.”

Participants started their four-day ride Friday and will travel about 180 miles to honor and raise money for the families of law enforcement officers who lost their lives. The route participants ride is not publicly released for safety reasons.

According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, 4,723 law enforcement officers have lost their lives since 2001. That figure does not include law enforcement officers who died in 2024.

Capri, an avid bicyclist in his off-time, said he plans on participating in this annual event until he is in his 90s because it is so important to him.

“We honor the memory of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice,” Capri told Inside Lake. “We can never forget these heroes.”

Link’s photo will be affixed to Capri’s bicycle for the entire ride through Maryland and Delaware.

TAVARES, Fla.—Lake County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Stefano Gargano has been released from the hospital.

More than 100 fellow law enforcement officers, friends and family members lined the sidewalk to welcome Gargano as he was released from HCA Florida Lake Monroe Hospital in Sanford, exactly one month after he was shot while attempting to rescue Master Deputy Bradley Link Aug. 2 from a home outside of Eustis. He was escorted to Lake County by multiple law enforcement agencies across Central Florida under a bright blue sky and fluffy white clouds.

Gargano was shot multiple times, as he and a team entered the home of Michael, Julie, Cheyenne and Savannah Sulpizio, to rescue Link after he was shot multiple times and trapped in the home. Link succumbed to his injuries.

K9 Master Deputy Harold Howell was also shot; he was released from the hospital Aug. 6 and has been recovering at his home.

Michael, Cheyenne and Savannah Sulpizio all died of self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Julie Sulpizio, who set the tragic night in motion by starting an altercation with her neighbors, was Baker Acted from the scene before the shootings occurred. She was later indicted on charges of principal to premeditated murder of a law enforcement officer, three counts of principal to attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, conspiracy to commit murder, battery on law enforcement officer and three counts of battery.

BREAKING NEWS: Matriarch indicted for ambush of deputies

Eustis, Inside Scoop, Tavares, Unincorporated Lake / By Marilyn M. Aciego

TAVARES, Fla.—A Lake County grand jury has indicted Julie Sulpizio for her role in the death of one Lake County Sheriff’s Office deputy and the attempted murder of two others on Aug. 2.

Sulpizio is now officially charged with principal to premeditated murder of a law enforcement officer, three counts of principal to attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, conspiracy to commit murder, battery on law enforcement officer, three counts of battery. The battery charges stem for her original altercation with neighbors.

Sulpizio has been held on no bond since her arrest Aug. 5 after she was medically cleared from AdventHealth Waterman in Tavares. She was detained since the night of the incident on a Baker Act, LCSO said earlier this month.

On Aug. 2, Sulpizio started an altercation with her neighbors on Brookside Drive in unincorporated Eustis. She attacked the neighbors and LCSO responded, and during a well-being check at her home, just down the street from the original call, Master Deputy Bradley Link was shot and suffered fatal wounds. In an immediate rescue attempt of Link, K9 Master Deputy Harold Howell was shot in the wrist and in a subsequent rescue attempt, Deputy Stefano Gargano was shot multiple times. Howell was released from the hospital and continues to recover at home; Gargano is still in the hospital and is in stable condition.

Upon entering the home, LCSO’s SWAT Team extracted Link and found Michael, and his adopted daughters, Cheyenne and Savannah Sulpizio, all dead from self-inflicted gunshot wounds. Evidence at the scene indicated all three opened fire and ambushed the deputies.

Sheriff Peyton Grinnell revealed during Link’s Celebration of Life Service, that Link’s wife, Brittany, called her husband that tragic night and one of the assailants answered his phone and spoke to her.

Sulpizio is being held at an undisclosed detention center in the area, “That’s not uncommon in high publicity cases such as this one,” Lt. John Herrell told Inside Lake in an earlier interview.

Sulpizio charged with multiple capital crimes and could face the death penalty.
