Anthony Vega, 34, was one of six people killed in the Deltona massacre on August 6, 2004. A painter and construction worker who had moved from The Bronx to Deltona, he had lived at the Telford Lane residence for about two weeks before the attack. Vega was bludgeoned and stabbed in the throat in the master bedroom; his girlfriend, Michelle Ann Nathan, was present and later found dead after hiding in a closet.

Four men—Troy Victorino, Jerone Hunter, Michael Salas, and Robert Cannon—entered the three-bedroom home carrying aluminum baseball bats and knives. Investigators concluded the attack was motivated by revenge and retrieval of property, including an Xbox Victorino believed belonged to him after he and others were evicted from a house owned by victim Erin Belanger’s family. All six victims died of blunt-force head trauma, and some sustained post-mortem stab wounds; Belanger’s pet dachshund was also killed.

Several suspects pleaded or were convicted; sentences and subsequent resentencing proceedings followed. Does anyone have memories of Vega or the Telford Lane neighborhood that could add context to his life before the attack?
