PREVIOUSLY: Sheriff: Family Found Dead in East Orange County Home in Suspected Murder-Suicide

Investigators with the Orange County Sheriff's Office say 39-year-old Ezequiel Almodovar — a customs officer assigned to Orlando International Airport — shot and killed 38-year-old Marielis Soto and two boys, 16-year-old Ezequiel and 12-year-old Gabriel Almodovar.

All four bodies were found in a home on the 2000 block of Corner Glen Drive just after 3 p.m. Thursday.

Sheriff John Mina said Thursday night that deputies responded to the home after getting well-being calls about the family, who hadn't been heard from for days.

Mina said a preliminary investigation has determined that the elder Almodovar shot and killed his wife and two sons. The two boys were in middle and high school.

No motive for the slayings has been released yet.

Here are the victims from that murder suicide. They are Ezequiel Almodovar, His son Ezequiel Almodovar, Gabriel Almodovar, and Marielis Soto.

Parents and guardians of students at East River High School were informed of the news by an automated call by school Principal Nicolle Campbell.

"We were made aware this evening of one of the deaths of our students last night," the automated message said.

According to Orange County Public Schools, a similar message also went out to parents at Corner Lake Middle School.

Grief counselors were available at both schools Friday.

Neighbors in the east Orange County community said the older boy attended East River High, about 10 minutes from that home. That boy's basketball teammates gathered outside the home on Corner Glen Drive last night after they heard the news.

"He is our teammate, more than a teammate," said Graylann Holland, a basketball teammate of the 16-year-old boy. "I didn’t think this could happen especially at young age like that."

Teammates. Friends. A tribute. A 12 second prayer for Gabriel Almodovar- 12 for his jersey number. Also a 24 second prayer for his brother Ezequiel who wore number 24.

Friday afternoon, Gabriel's friends and teammates dropped off flowers and a basketball, creating a makeshift memorial for the Almodovars.

Marie Harris lived next door to the Almodovars for several years. She told Spectrum News it was just two days ago Marie saw the father, Ezequiel, but admits the rest of the family was nowhere to be seen.

Something else was odd: Neighbors told us the Almodovars' dog Fluffy wouldn’t stop barking.

“It's just a tragedy. You never know what is going on in people's families and people's lives. I feel really bad for their family," said Daniel McCracken, another neighbor.

Family members of the Almodovars arrived at the home Friday, asking for privacy to grieve.

Just last month, the bodies of a woman and her three children were found dead in a Celebration home. Investigators said out-of-state relatives of the Todt family had been having trouble reaching them since Thanksgiving. Anthony Todt, a physical therapist who had businesses in Connecticut, has been charged with killing his wife and their two young sons and daughter .

In January 2019, a manhunt ensued after a couple and their adult son were found slain in their Chuluota home. In July, a 12-member jury found the couple's other son, Grant Amato, guilty of three counts of first-degree murder in their deaths and got life in prison.
