Landlord accused in fatal shooting of tenant behind on rent:
They grow them rough in Naples, Florida.
It’s a good thing that 78-year-old Javier Ortoll doesn’t own too much property, he would need to employ a fulltime undertaker to deal with all of his tenants’ that are behind in their rent.
The Naples Daily News reports 51-year-old Edward Melone had fallen behind on his rent and his landlord Ortoll who is disabled but carried a gun to even out his disability , collected his debt in a big way and blasted his “used to be” renter.
Ortoll was charged with second degree murder.
On the bright side of this sad tale; I guess if you are going to kill someone, you might as well wait until you are up in the years. Ortoll is 78 years old; how many years can he really serve when convicted?
