Suspect on the run after Titusville shooting

Two people were killed in a shooting near a Titusville apartment complex on Monday afternoon.

Two people were killed in a shooting near a Titusville apartment complex on Monday afternoon, officials said. 

The double shooting occurred at the Sandalwood Apartments in the 200 block of Knox McRae Drive shortly before 3 p.m. Police responded to several 911 calls reporting shots fired. Multiple victims were reportedly found in and near a parked car inside the apartment complex's parking lot, officials said. 

Police found an adult male lying outside a car while another was in the vehicle. They were both pronounced dead on the scene with apparent gun shot wounds. 

The victims have been identified as Luis Alfredo Orozco Cambara and Otwual Ramon Castillo, both 32.

Pastor David Cox, who works nearby as part of the Liberty Lodge Ministries' rehab program, saw the victims' bodies. 

"I just saw the vehicles coming and going and came around the back here and saw the dead body under the truck and the door open and another dead body there," he told FOX 35 News. 

The suspect, who remains unknown at this time, reportedly fled the scene before police arrived. 

"This neighborhood is gotten progressively worse with drugs and alcohol," Cox said. "It's definitely picking up the pace and you see the activity going on, and it's really sad." 

Anyone with information is urged to contact the Titusville Police Department at 321-264-7800 or Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS. 

The investigation remains ongoing.
