Investigators found three gunshot victims inside the home, WFTV reported.

One of the victims, seven-year-old Cameron Bouie, was transported to a local hospital, but he did not survive, according to WESH.

The other two victims, 13-year-old Damionna Reed, and 69-year-old Carol Fulmore, were pronounced dead at the scene, WFTV reported.

Police said Daley was responsible for the three homicides, according to WKMG.

Fulmore’s neighbor, 66-year-old Joanne Capel, said she missed a call from Fulmore at 2:20 a.m. on Sunday morning.

“A minute later at 2:21, she texted me ‘Call the police, he’s shooting,'” Capel told WESH. “I’m just shocked. I’m just flabbergasted and just shocked… [She] was one of the sweetest people, best neighbor I have ever had in my entire life…”

The Orlando Police Department (OPD) said the incident was captured on the officers’ bodycams and that the footage will be released to the public in 30 days, according to the news outlet.

The officers involved in the encounter have been placed on paid administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation, as per protocol.
