A mother was shot and killed in front of her two children when three masked men broke into her Orange County home and demanded money Wednesday morning.

Yoliz Marie DeJesus Borrero, 22, was shot and killed around 4:20 a.m. at a home on Millrace Court, in Orlando.

"The call came in actually from a neighbor of a suspicious incident," said Jeff Williamson, of the Orange County Sheriff's Office. "I guess they heard loud noises."

Three Hispanic males forced their way into the home by kicking the door in. Borrero and her two children and another man were inside the home and gave the three masked men cash.

Deputies didn't say how much money three men took. They shot and killed Borrero before they left.



The three masked men then took off on foot, deputies said. While investigators search for answers, neighbors have their own theories.

"You don't just go into some neighborhood and say, 'OK, we are going to hit this house today,'" said Mario Rivera, who lives near the home where the deadly shooting occurred. "They had to be watching them or something."

Investigators said they don't think this was a random home invasion.
