Five Below Shooting Linked to Romance

A deadly confrontation erupted at a Five Below store after David Vasquez allegedly stormed in with the intent to kill Brandan Lucas, a 31-year-old employee he believed had been flirting with his girlfriend. The girlfriend, who said Lucas sent her inappropriate texts and that Vasquez was deeply upset and protective, reportedly showed him the messages via FaceTime — which she thinks he recorded. Despite her pleas via text, Vasquez ignored her warnings and arrived at the store 15 minutes before the shooting. Surveillance and witnesses confirm a physical fight preceded the fatal gunshots. Vasquez, now arrested and held without bail, faces multiple charges including murder with a deadly weapon and illegal firearm possession.
