Orlando Police continue to investigate a homicide on Bethune Drive. They haven\u2019t said if a suspect is still on the loose. They say they can\u2019t release additional information to protect the integrity of the case.<\/p>\n

SWAT arrives at a home on Bethune Drive, armed with riot gear and a robotic dog.<\/p>\n

Neighbor Fei Rosa says, \u201cIt surprised me.\u201d Surprised after officers had arrived at the home on Easter Sunday at around 10:30 pm. They say they found 35-year-old Edwin Collazo with gunshot injuries and he later died at the hospital.<\/p>\n

SWAT stayed only a few minutes and left after going inside. Investigators dressed in protective suits searched the home inside and out. They also towed away a vehicle.<\/p>\n

Neighbor Dorothy Jones recognized the victim\u2019s picture when we showed her. \u201cI pass by every day. I see them every afternoon, the family sitting outside, they seem to be nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

We talked to Collazo\u2019s mother off camera. She says her son was friends with someone in the home and wants answers as to why the father of four young children died.<\/p>\n

Friends of the family say Collazo was fun and liked by many. Jones says, \u201cI pray for the family.\u201d<\/p>\n
