Angelica Castro, 23, was killed during a home-invasion robbery in the early hours of January 6, 2016, at a residence on East Magnolia Drive in Lakeland’s Combee area. Two other people, David Washington and Eneida Branch, were also fatally shot; a fourth resident, Felix Campos, survived after being shot in the face and later testified about the attack.

Investigators say the house was a known location for drugs including marijuana, heroin, and cocaine, and that the attackers had visited the residence less than two weeks before the invasion. Prosecutors charged and tried multiple defendants; testimony attributed the fatal shots to Johnathan Alcegaire, who was convicted and sentenced to death, while Jamaal Smith was convicted of first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, and armed burglary after Campos identified him as the person who shot him.

What details about the morning of January 6, 2016, or the victims’ lives are missing that might help readers who remember the Combee neighborhood piece together what happened?
