Emanuel Castro Vazquez, 24, and Luis Cruz-Nazario were found dead of multiple gunshot wounds in a parked car in Belle Isle, Florida, on August 31, 2016. Their vehicle was discovered near Cornerstone Charter Academy just north of Fairlane Avenue; investigators believe the men were shot on the street near Oak Ridge Road and tried to drive away for help before succumbing to their injuries.

Cruz-Nazario had been a suspect in a separate February 2016 nightclub shooting at the Glitz Ultra Lounge in Orlando that killed Joseph Villalobos and Jonathan Avila Rojas and wounded ten others. He faced charges including second-degree murder and carrying a concealed weapon and was released on bond in June 2016. Investigators have not confirmed whether the Belle Isle killings are connected to the Glitz Ultra Lounge incident, and no motive has been established.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office and Belle Isle police continue to investigate and are asking anyone with information to come forward. Did anyone in the area see or hear anything unusual near Oak Ridge Road on August 31, 2016?
