Migrant Worker Confesses To Mobile Home Murder

Posted: 12:10 pm EDT June 10, 2005

Osceola County deputies say a man has confessed to a murder at the Siesta Lago mobile home park in Kissimmee.

Channel Nine has learned that the suspect, 26-year-old Francisco Angeles, was a co-worker and roommate of the victim. They shared a mobile home with two other men.

When asked why he killed his roommate, Angeles told detectives that it was over money.

Osceola county homicide investigators say violently killed his roommate in cold blood.

Francisco Angeles and his unidentified roommate were drinking beer in their mobile home on West Robel Drive in Kissimmee, when they got into a heated argument over twenty dollars for beer.

"The victim did not give the suspect the twenty dollars, so he went into the kitchen, grabbed a knife, returned and killed the victim," explained Twis Lizasuain of the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.

According to the charging affidavit, Angeles confessed that he said he stabbed his roommate several times around the neck area, left the knife in his body, took thirty dollars from his roommate's pocket and used that money to buy more beer.

Quetcy Rodriguez says she couldn't sleep all night. "It's sad, it's sad that this even happened in our neighborhood."

The victim's two other roommates found his body lying in the bedroom around 6:30 p.m., Thursday night, and a neighbor called 9-1-1 immediately.

People who live here say the men are Mexican immigrants who work in construction and don't speak English.

Francisco Angeles had just moved in several days ago.

He's been charged with murder and could be facing many years behind bars.

Channel Nine has learned that Francisco Angeles has been in trouble with the law before.

He's been arrested nine times since 2003, on charges ranging from possession of cocaine and marijuana to shoplifting to larceny.
