Port Charlotte Shooting Landlord Shot After Being Mistaken For Dead

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. — A Port Charlotte man shot and killed his landlord Wednesday morning after believing she had been dead for days, according to the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office. Jordan Ruddy told detectives he thought his landlord, Iliana Martinez-Castillo, was dead because he could smell a foul odor coming from her room. When she walked out of her bedroom alive Wednesday morning, deputies say Ruddy killed her. The shooting happened at a Port Charlotte home where both Ruddy and Martinez-Castillo lived. After the shooting, Ruddy walked to a neighbor's house and asked her to call 911. Ring camera footage captured Ruddy at neighbor Alexus Taylor's door, speaking calmly as he requested help.
