Italo Pisciotti, 79, was killed on July 26, 2013, in Hialeah, Florida. He and his 69-year-old wife Samira managed and lived in a five-story apartment building where they enforced building regulations; that management role led to disputes with some tenants. On the night of the attack a resident, 42-year-old Pedro Alberto Vargas, set a combustible liquid on fire inside his unit. When the Pisciottis came to investigate smoke, Vargas opened his door and shot both of them, killing them instantly.

The shooting was part of a larger rampage in which Vargas killed a total of six people before a SWAT team shot him dead after an eight-hour standoff; other victims included Carlos Javier Gavilanes, Patricio Simono, Merly S. Niebles and a 17-year-old girl named Pricilla Perez. Investigators reported Vargas had attempted to set fire to a pile of money in his apartment and had a history of disputes with the Pisciottis.

Did anyone living in that building or nearby witness escalating conflicts between Vargas and the Pisciottis?
