TITUSVILLE, Fla. – There are still lots of questions about how two men died in front of an apartment building Monday, according to Titusville police.
Officers said they were called to the Sandalwood Apartments on Knox McRae Drive around 3 p.m. after witnesses heard gunshots.
The day after the shooting, one tenant said she’d never seen the unidentified men before.
“Kind of scared, you know, trying to figure out what happened,” Chaselynn True said.
True and other neighbors said they have no idea what led to police reporting the men were shot and killed in their parking lot – one inside a car and the other lying just outside. The two Cocoa men were later identified as Luis Alfredo Orozco Cambara and Otwual Ramon Castillo, both 32, officers said.
The department released a couple of 911 calls on Wednesday of witnesses at the complex calling in the shooting.
“I don’t know what just happened, I thought it was fireworks and this guy is on the floor outside of his truck, he’s bleeding,” a 911 caller said. “... He looks like he has blood on his face and he is unconscious on the floor outside of his truck right now.”

The 911 caller, a woman, later goes outside to check on the man and said her grandfather saw someone ran off.
“I don’t see any weapons around, his car is still running,” she tells the dispatcher. “There’s another person in the car and he’s not moving either.”
Police at the apartments told dispatchers both were dead on scene.
“Two Hispanic males, both with gunshot wounds,” one first responder said.
“They’re both signal 7 (deceased),” another said.
Police also said there are still no suspects in custody.
True said she’s worried about safety now.
“It definitely makes me want to move when our lease is up,” the tenant said. “Maybe they were like, trying to run from somebody and they tried to run back here thinking they could get away and got caught and ended up dead,” she speculated.
