I just walked outside,\u201d the caller said. \u201cMy neighbor, Tony, is laying on the ground. His house is open and there\u2019s blood all over his stomach.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Back in Fort Lauderdale on Wednesday, family members were spotted outside of the Victoria Park apartment consoling one another. Property manager Joe Askerberg said complimentary things about Blyudaya, calling her friendly and a good tenant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cShe had guests down from Chicago, which is where she hailed from,\u201d Askerberg said. \u201cShe sold her house there and moved here in search of maybe a warmer life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Mark Scianna, a neighbor, told Local 10 News that he saw a man wearing what looked like a runner\u2019s mask arriving at the house, then going inside.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">\u201cA guy came running around here and he went to the driveway and hit the keypad on the garage door, and the door went up, and I just didn\u2019t think anything of it,\u201d Scianna said. \u201cI thought she knew him and he was just a runner or something, and he had a mask on. It was like a runner\u2019s mask.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Blyudaya\u2019s ex-husband told Local 10 News over the phone that Azivov is his and Larissa\u2019s son.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">He says the Sarasota County victims are immediate family members.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Detectives said Kot had been in a prior romantic relationship with one of the victims in Fort Lauderdale. It\u2019s unclear what could have motivated him to go on a deadly rampage.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfe0 News From Your Neighborhood<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph b-article-body__copyright\">Copyright 2026 by WPLG Local10.com &#8211; All rights reserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. \u2014 Deputies have released a 911 call in the wake of a cross-Florida mass murder&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":153253,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[249,251,250],"class_list":{"0":"post-153252","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-fort-lauderdale","8":"tag-fort-lauderdale","9":"tag-fort-lauderdale-headlines","10":"tag-fort-lauderdale-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153252\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/153253"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
