Mitchell L. Nutter
Mitchell L. Nutter served in the U.S. Air Force.
Patrolman Mitchell Nutter was shot and killed when he responded to an armed robbery call at a local service station at 420 W. Central Boulevard. When he pulled into the parking lot, he was immediately shot in the eye by the suspect. The man then stole another car but was apprehended after wrecking it, and a second car he stole while fleeing police. The 25-year-old suspect was wanted in Patterson, New Jersey, for the armed robbery of a tavern eight months earlier. He said he wanted to kill cops because one had killed a member of his family. He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison. Patrolman Nutter was a United States Air Force veteran and had served with the Orlando Police Department for five years.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Patrolman Nutter gave the Orlando Police Department 5 years.
Thank you for your service to the Orlando community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
