ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando police have not made any arrests since the deadly shooting Sunday inside a nightclub on Universal Boulevard in the heart of the tourism district.
Police Chief John Mina said the shooting at Glitz Ultra Lounge that left two people dead and nearly a dozen injured was not random.
"We have a good idea of who all, and why this happened. It wasn't just a random act of violence," Mina said.
The victims of the shooting were Joseph Villalobos, 22, and Jonathan Avila Rojas, 33.
About 300 people were at the club when the shooting happened.
“One guy got shot in the back. He was fine (and) was walking and talking. Everyone was screaming and crying,” an unnamed witness said.
The witness said he felt like it was the aftermath of a terrorist attack.
Another unnamed witness said it was a frightening scene.
“That was intense. People were walking out with blood on their arms and blood on their shirts. Females were covered in blood,” he said.
The future of the club remains uncertain.
A letter posted on the club’s door Tuesday said the owner owes Republic Square Property Management more than $82,000 in rent.
The club’s Facebook account has been deactivated, but its website is still active.
Three Orlando police officers were working extra duty at the club early Sunday.
Mina said the officers are usually at or near the front door to assist with security. But Mina said the club's security does the pat downs for weapons.
Rojas had a misdemeanor drug charge dismissed in 2013 and Villalobos had criminal traffic tickets.
Police records show officers were called out to the nightclub 54 times in a year.
The calls include multiple fights and disturbances.
