Marisol Rosado-Carmona, 55, native of Las Piedras, PR, was an active leader in the New Covenant Methodist Church in the city of Sebring where she was involved in the music ministry, was one of five women killed in an incident at the SunTrust bank in that city, two hours south of Orlando.
The victims who were employees at the SunTrust Bank at 1901 U.S. Highway 27 include Marisol López (Rosado-Carmona), 55; Ana Piñon-Williams, 38; Jessica Montague, 31; and Debra Cook, 54. The fifth victim, Cynthia Watson, 65, was a customer.
An anonymous acquaintance told the media:
“She was a woman dedicated to her family and to the church. Her parents were shepherds. At Christmas they always invited me to their house and we had a good time because we ate and then we sang, “said the interviewee, who last night accompanied relatives to the Inn On The Lakes hotel, where the authorities moved the victims.
“At a given moment in the hotel, they called relatives to a room. We were praying and begging that it was not Marisol, but it was her. This has been very hard and we are all devastated, “said the source. “Just last year the mother of Marisol’s husband, died who is also Puerto Rican,” he added.
Marisol died after Zephen Xaver, 21, entered the bank and, in circumstances that are still unclear, he took clients and employees as hostages and killed five women.
