While canvassing the neighborhood, officers confirmed that they found a second stabbing victim.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Police said one victim was pronounced dead at the scene, while the other died after being taken to a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">The victims were later identified as Mesilien Pierre, 36; and Wilford White, 68. Neighbors said White used a wheelchair and was unable to escape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">According to police, officers responded to a nearby home on July 5 after receiving a report about a 51-year-old man who was found dead inside by a family member.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Police identified the victim as Jeffrey Standifer, who they said had also been killed by DaSilva. They did not confirm how Standifer was killed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-paragraph\">Anyone with information about the investigations into the three killings is asked to call the Lauderhill Police Department at 954-497-4700.
