Anthony Sikora was 23 and a resident of West Kendall, Florida, when he was shot and killed on June 12, 2014. The killing occurred inside the family home during the early morning hours; his mother, Gale Sikora, was also shot and killed during the same attack.

He encountered Gale on the stairs and shot her, then went to Anthony’s bedroom and shot him, firing multiple rounds even after Anthony had fallen.

Candelaria had been diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2013 and family members reported he had left home with their car and firearms without permission. He was apprehended shortly after the murders and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and armed burglary. The case drew attention for the perpetrator’s severe mental illness and the role it played in the prosecution.

Does anyone have information about Anthony’s life in West Kendall or knew the Sikora family that could shed light on this tragedy?
