Johnathan Alcegaire Case
he evidence presented at trial established the following. At the time of the murders, David Washington, Eneida Branch, Angelica Castro, and Felix Campos lived in a residential unit located at 2314 East Magnolia Street in Lakeland. The residence was part of a triplex multi-unit dwelling. Washington and Branch were dating and had lived in the residence the longest. Castro lived in the residence for about two days before the murders. Campos, the sole survivor of the 2016 incident, met Washington in the summer of 2015 and lived with Washington and Branch for about two weeks before the murders.
On the morning of January 6, 2016, all four residents were at home. Washington, Branch, and Castro had returned home around 4 a.m. after a brief trip to Miami. Around 6 a.m., Campos lay in his bed, and through the bedroom window, saw a van pull into the driveway. Three men got out of the van, knocked on a door leading directly from the outside into Washington’s bedroom, and entered the residence after Washington opened the door for them.
Washington and the men then moved from Washington’s bedroom into the living room. Campos was able to see into the living room because a towel that hung on his bedroom door caused the door to remain ajar.
Campos heard the men talking with Washington. Campos recognized the men, two of whom were later identified as Alcegaire and Jamaal Smith, from a recent visit to the residence. At one point, Alcegaire walked into Campos’s bedroom and walked back into the living room after attempting to close the bedroom door. Shortly thereafter, Smith walked into Campos’s bedroom and shot Campos in the face with a nine-millimeter firearm. Smith left Campos’s bedroom while Campos remained in bed and bled profusely.
The bedroom door remained open, and Campos saw Smith counting Washington’s money and beating Washington with a stool. While Smith was beating Washington, Campos heard gunshots in the bedrooms where Castro and Branch were located. Campos heard one of the women say, “You shot me.” Her words were followed by another gunshot.
Shortly thereafter, Smith shot Washington, who was the last person to be shot. Campos saw Washington get shot once but heard two gunshots. The assailants then ransacked the residence and took multiple items, including electronic devices and cell phones belonging to the victims. Before leaving the residence, Smith returned to Campos’s bedroom. Campos pretended to be dead, and Smith left the room.
Once the assailants were gone, Campos went to check on his housemates, who were all dead. After inspecting his wound in the bathroom, Campos sought help from a neighbor and called 911. Campos was admitted to the hospital and remained there for several days while receiving treatment for his gunshot wound.
