HOLLYWOOD, Fla. – A 73-year-old man was facing charges on Tuesday in Broward County over the murders of two women at a blue single-story house in Hollywood.
Detectives arrested Miguel Fiallo, who is set to turn 74 this December, after a shooting at about 5 p.m., on Monday, near the intersection of North 57 Avenue and Garfield Street.
According to police, Fiallo rented an efficiency at the home and killed the women, who were his landlords.
Family members identified the victims as Delia Mercedes Cuadrado and Elizabeth Ann Conley.
According to an arrest report, Fiallo confessed to the crime shortly after the shooting, saying he shot them because, “we have had problems in the past.”
Police believe Fiallo had been demanding to get his deposit back to move out due to problems he had with the landlords over electricity and plumbing issues.
Surveillance video from a neighboring house captured the sound of six gunshots fired. First, there were five consecutive shots, and two minutes later there was a single shot.
Fiallo was arrested in the driveway of the home. Detectives said they found spent shell casings and a 9 millimeter handgun that they said was the murder weapon.
Broward Sheriff’s Office inmate records show Fiallo is facing two counts of premeditated murder and deputies were holding him at the main jail without bond on Tuesday afternoon.
Detectives were asking anyone with information about the case to call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477 or the Hollywood Police Department at 954-764-4357.
