Murder suspect caught on camera shooting ex-brother-in-law
SUMMARY: A man caught on camera shooting and killing his ex-brother-in-law on Whittingham Lane has a criminal history and is in the U.S. illegally. Andreas Fernandez de Laaz, 36, shot Ediesi Insensio Pinero, 34, who died at the hospital. Fernandez de Laaz, a Cuban national, was under FBI investigation for credit card skimming before the murder.
