Maria Sanchez, 36, and her 16-year-old daughter Destiny Banuelos were found shot to death in their Pine Hills, Orlando, home on February 15, 2016. A man who lived with them discovered the bodies when he returned home that afternoon; he was cooperating with police and was not considered a suspect. The house showed no signs of forced entry and had no electricity at the time of the incident.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office ruled both deaths homicides and opened an investigation, interviewing friends and relatives but making no arrests immediately after the killings. Family members set up a GoFundMe to help pay funeral expenses; Maria’s four other children were being cared for by their father after the deaths. The investigation was ongoing.

Did anyone in the Pine Hills area see or hear anything on February 15, 2016 that might help investigators?
