Stepson Arrested for Stepfather's Murder | Orlando News

A chilling murder case unfolds as authorities arrest Jose Proano, 44, for the brutal killing of his 71-year-old stepfather, Jorge Vazquez-Escutia. Investigators pieced together a damning trail: surveillance footage shows Proano sneaking into the backyard, cell phone records place him at the scene, and witness accounts describe erratic behavior and threats. The body was allegedly dismembered and stuffed into three suitcases, later found along White Road. Despite Proano’s denials, evidence—including a threatening voicemail and blood-stained fences—led to his arrest on first-degree murder charges. Officials reassure the public there’s no threat to the community, while the victim’s family mourns in silence. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
