Florida Killings: Victims Profile Released,Families Warned Not To Hold Vigil For The Dead

As weeping friends and relatives of the 50 victims of the Orlando gay nightclub shooting gathered at the scene of the horrific attack the names of those murdered by lone wolf terrorist Omar Mateen began to trickle out.

As pictures of young men were released along with their names the depth of the tragedy - which also left 53 injured - began too sink in. But the Florida police asked members of the public not to hold vigils for the dead, possibly over fears of more violence.

The force tweeted: “We understand our community is grieving and vigils are being planned, but PLEASE hold off on vigils.”

They said such services "represent a serious strain on our limited resources".

Seven victims were named this evening, the first of those to be pictured who died at the Pulse nightclub was Stanley Almodovar, 23, below.

The other six named and pictured were also all young men, aged between 20 and 36, all cut down by gunfire as they ennjoyed a night out.

The dead were named as Edward Sotomayor Jr., 34, Luis Omar Ocasio-Capo, 20, Juan Ramon Guerrero, 22, Eric Ivan Ortiz-Rivera, 36, Peter O. Gonzalez-Cruz, 22, and Luis S. Vielma, also 22.

Peter O. Gonzalez-Cruz, 22

They were all murdered in cold blood by ISIS-sympathiser gunman Mateen, 29 - America’s worst ever mass shooter - and his father said he may have been motivated by his mounting anger at seeing two men kissing in Miami.

Despite Omar Mateen pledging allegiance to Islamic State in 911 calls before the massacre, his father Mir Seddique said his son was motivated by homophobia.

Copied
The Amanyanabo of Okrika kingdom has a lot of oil wells situated in his kingdom. He has no oil well. But the Sultan of Sokoto has over 10 oil wells in Niger Delta. The Amanyanabo of Bonny in Niger Delta has oil wells in his kingdom, but he has no oil well to his name but The Emir of Kano has over 5 oil wells in Niger Delta territories. The Amanyanabo of Kalabari has so many oil wells in his kingdom but has no oil well to his name in his kingdom but the Emir of Gwazo has over 5 oil wells in Niger Delta territories. In Ogonilands there are so many oil wells but none of the kings in Ogonilands have any oil wells but General Danjuma has over 10 oil wells in Ogonilands. The list can go on but Niger Delta people and their kings don't have oil wells . Such a situation, will you say it is fair to the Niger Delta people in Nigeria? Let's restructure and live in unity. The cheating is very bad and not fair. This is the bane of the corruption in Nigeria. Its like holding lamp for a stranger as he is molesting ur wife....God forbid bad thing

Most of those killed are Mexican Americans which am not surprised anyway.
