"I just heard what sounded like gunshots and screaming," a man said in a 911 call from the shooting released by police on Monday. "I just heard it and it just sounded like the lady that was screaming said 'someone call the police.'"

In a statement Monday, Fort Lauderdale Police said 28-year-old Carlos Reyes arrived at the home and shot two people before turning the gun on himself.

One of the victim, 24-year-old Michelle Rodriguez, was killed at the scene. The second victim, a male, remains hospitalized, police said.

Reyes was hospitalized but later died from his injuries.

Police haven't released any information on the connection between Reyes and Rodriguez or the other victim.

A neighbor who has lived in the neighborhood for 50 years said a family lived in the home, but she did not know them well.

Another neighbor identified one of the victims in the hospital as Ryan Kruse, a man in his early 20s who lives at the house.

An investigation was ongoing.
