Federal Boulevard, Billy Ortiz was parked and sitting in his vehicle when he was approached by an unknown Hispanic male. A verbal altercation ensued; the suspect pulled out a hand gun and viciously shot Billy in the head. Billy was rushed to the hospital where he died from his injuries the following morning.
