ORANGE CITY, Fla. -- Police are questioning a man about a triple murder in Orange City. A mother and her two sons were found dead in their home on Monday night.

It's almost fitting that, in a bizarre triple murder, the man investigators are looking for is found in a mental institution.
Twenty-eight-year-old Javier Orlando Carrasquillo (photo below left) was arrested, not for the murders, but for a past assault. He has a violent past. Last March he had to be taken down with a taser after resisting arrest.
Witnesses say he was friends with the Negron family. He was homeless and the family would help him out.
However, something may have happened between Carresquillo and the Negron's church, The Jehovah Witnesses. A family member tells Channel Nine, one church member once overheard Carresquillo talking about buying a gun and killing some Witnesses.
That's something investigators aren't talking about.
Carresquillo was being questioned in Seminole County and transferred to Volusia. Investigators hope to match his fingerprints with those at the crime scene.
