A man in Florida has been accused of shooting 6 members of his daughter’s boyfriend’s family. This attack seems to be culmination of a year long feud between the Ortiz (Montagues) and the Riojas (Capulets) of Crescent City, Florida. The feud came to a head when 15 year old Muguel Soliz began dating one of the teenage Riojas:
“All this started because they were dating,” said Melva Ortiz, Miguel’s mother. “I tried to tell him to leave the girl, but you know how kids are.”
Angelica Soliz, a cousin of the victims, said she hid under a bed as people fired guns from the road.
“They were just shooting at us,” said another family member, Maria Ortiz, 22. “We just threw ourselves to the floor, and the people who got shot, they didn’t have a chance.”
The violence had been building for hours. A fight broke out Saturday night among dozens of opposing family members, but the sheriff’s office said there was not enough information for an arrest. Early Sunday, a 911 caller reported people getting shot.
Sweet, sweet, love.
