the dead man was Seth Riley Flores, 22. His fiancée, Kirsta Maelyn Flores, confirmed that he was fatally shot in Ozone Woods, the same neighborhood where she said he had been shot about a year earlier.

Flores said the couple, who met on Facebook, had been together six years.

“I wish the police had gotten there sooner," she said tearfully.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, the homeowner confronted the man and at some point fatally shot him. The homeowner, who has not been identified, remained on the scene and is cooperating with the investigation.

Rhonda Bunn, who lives behind the house on Robin Street where the shooting occurred, said her dogs began barking after midnight, waking her up, and she heard arguing. She heard her neighbor yelling for the other man to leave. "Then I heard 'boom, boom, boom' — seemed like five shots," she said.
