A retired Florida nurse who opened his home to a 19-year-old he believed needed help was allegedly stabbed with a knife and beaten to death with a wine bottle after telling the young man to move out for not paying rent, authorities said.
John Torneo, 67, had allowed Julian Trevino to live in his Davenport-area home since September, but last week, told him to leave for not paying rent or helping around the house, neighbors told officials. Days later, Torneo was found brutally murdered inside his home, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said.
