Child tells neighbor how mother, grandmother and 'daddy' died
September 27, 2011|By Linda Trischitta and Rafael A. Olmeda, Sun Sentinel

SUNRISE â The voice of a terrified 5-year-old girl, who had just seen her mother and grandmother shot to death by the man she called daddy, was captured on the recording of a 911 call released by Sunrise police on Tuesday.

The girl was the only witness to Sunday's murder-suicide at the Del Rio Village townhouses. Immediately after the shootings, the girl ran to a neighbor's house and pleaded for help. The neighbor called 911, but the girl's heartbreaking voice is clearly heard on the recording made of the call.

"She's dead," the girl said of her mother, Danielle M. Lorenzo, 30. "My grandma's dead and my daddy's dead."

"How do you know this?" the neighbor asked.

"Because," the girl answered, "I saw them."

Police confirmed on Tuesday that the weapon, a Walther PPK handgun, was fired by Marcus Nathaniel Trotman, 26, who fatally shot Lorenzo and her mother, Linda Scudera, 56, before turning the gun on himself Sunday evening.

Trotman and Lorenzo had been married for 18 months.

"Can I, can I live here?" the girl asked her neighbor as police were dispatched to the home on the 4000 block of Del Rio Way. "My daddy, my mommy and my grandma are dead and I need somewhere to live."

On Tuesday afternoon, Broward Family Court Judge Susan Greenhawt held a custody hearing for the girl and an older brother, whose whereabouts were not discussed. The girl has been staying with a baby sitter, with the Department of Children & Families monitoring as custody issues are resolved. A man claiming to be the girl's biological father was in court Tuesday and agreed to a DNA test to verify paternity.

If he's determined to be the girl's father, he would be awarded custody pending a review of his family's home by state officials.

Media reports have linked the recovered handgun to a local radio host, DJ Laz.

"Apparently he was friends with Marcus, but it has not been confirmed it was DJ's gun," said Sunrise Police Sgt. Rodney Hailey. "He's missing one with the same make and model, but serial numbers have not been matched yet."

Trotman held a security guard license but did not have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, Sunrise police said.

According to Broward County court records, Trotman was arrested Aug. 21 by Sunrise police and charged with battery.

On Sept. 16, Trotman was arraigned on two counts of misdemeanor battery/domestic violence against Scudera and Lorenzo, said Ron Ishoy, spokesman for the State Attorney's Office.

Trotman pleaded no contest and was put on probation after Scudera filed a waiver of prosecution, Ishoy said.

As a condition of his probation, Trotman was not to have contact with his wife or mother-in-law, and was required to participate in a batterers' intervention program, as well as Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and anger management classes, Ishoy said.

@Dani: I won't even say anything about that. There's nothing I can say. :(

Answer
Yes, it does... and I hate bring race into this or to race bait, but things like this are why I wouldn't tolerate any of my sisters being with black men. As sad as this is, it isn't uncommon to hear about it. Just like it isn't uncommon for them (not to generalize) to rape and smile or laugh when on trial, or to kill someone because they didn't have enough money. Now a little girl is alone without her mother because that animal took her away.
