Orange County Sheriff’s Office officials said they are searching for two persons of interest in connection with the home invasion homicide of 20-year-old Alex Correa.
Investigators said Correa stopped the home invaders from going farther into the house and was shot.

Correa was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
"You're not supposed to bury your own child," said William Correa, the victim's father. Correa's funeral is scheduled for Tuesday at Baldwin Fairchild Funeral Home.
The vehicle that police said was in the area is described as a Black Nissan Altima made between 2008 and 2012.
Channel 9's Ashley Edlund showed the pictures of the two persons of interest to family and friends of Correa's and nobody said they recognized them. Investigators did not say what connection, if any, the two people may have to the crime.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crimeline at 800-423-8477.
