I’ll try to research, but there was one article about his mother having died recently, and I don’t remember reading anything about his father.

"One student interviewed on the scene by WSVN-7 said the student had guns at home and talked about using them. Another, Nicholas Coke, called Cruz a “loner” who left the school a couple months ago and moved to North Florida after his mother died. Coke said he recalls an incident in middle school when Cruz kicked out a glass window and ran out of his classroom before getting caught.

“He had a lot of problems in middle school,” Coke said. “You never think anyone you know is going to do something like this.”
