Chapter 1: What is the story behind Frank Arroyo's murder?
A loving father is gunned down just steps from his daughter's bedroom.
An individual walked in the room, pulled a handgun out, and shot him. His girlfriend was in bed with him at the time. It was just unbelievable, and in such a ferocious way, too. It was horrific.
Investigators search for a killer and uncover a deceitful past filled with possible suspects.
They lived a lavish lifestyle. They always had a boat, nice cars, nice houses. She believed that it was a Puerto Rican hit squad that came up to kill him.
Or was the real danger much closer to home?
His daughter said she had been a witness to a fight that her father and a neighbor had earlier in the day. He said to me, I don't want to die. And I was like, why would you ever say that? He had asked her, what's going to happen? And she said, you're better off if you don't know. All she could see was a figure. And she heard a click. And the shooter said, this is your lucky day.

Chapter 2: Who are the key suspects in Frank Arroyo's case?
She just witnessed her boyfriend murdered right before her eyes. She was extremely upset.
Nikki said she was in bed with Frank, and Frank was on the phone with his mother at the foot of the bed, sitting up, and she noticed someone come in through the bedroom door, which was backlit, so all she could see was a figure. And she heard a click, and the shooter said, this is your lucky day. At that point, she thought this was a joke, and I guess Frank did as well.
And then she heard metal, which was the shooter pulling back the slide on the automatic and chambering around, and fired off four shots, which all of them hit Frank. Frank's daughter did hear the gunshots and came out of the bedroom to see what that was. An individual unknown to them shot Frank four times, three times in the chest and one time in the head, turned around and walked out.
It's a haunting story, but investigators can't take it as gospel just yet.
