On August 6, 2004, 28-year-old Roberto Tito Gonzalez was one of six people killed in a home-invasion attack at 3106 Telford Lane in Deltona, Florida. The group carried out the assault with baseball bats and knives or machetes; autopsies concluded blunt-force head injuries were the cause of death for the victims, and several also had post-mortem stab wounds. A pet dachshund was also killed and blood was reported in nearly every room of the house.

Investigators found the motive centered on ringleader Troy Victorino’s desire for revenge against resident Erin Belanger and disputes over an Xbox console and clothing. Court records say four men — Troy Victorino, Jerone Hunter, Robert Cannon, and Michael Salas — committed the killings. Case narratives attribute Gonzalez’s death to Jerone Hunter, who fatally beat him with a bat and stabbed him; Gonzalez had been staying the night as a co-worker and friend and had recently moved to Florida from New York. The victim’s ethnicity is not specified in the records.

Does anyone have information about Gonzalez’s time in Florida or knew him when he moved from New York?
