Two men accused of killing an off-duty Florida firefighter for his Nike sneakers and iPhone boasted about the murder just moments after the heinous act, according to a witness who saw the gunman “smiling about it.”
Torrey Holston, 26, and Jose Garcia Romero, 27, allegedly killed Coral Springs-Parkland firefighter Christopher Randazzo, 39, in front of a Lauderdale-by-the-Sea resort when he left his second job as a bartender at Aruba Beach Cafe around 1 a.m. on Oct. 19, 2019.
Holston was heard saying, “I can’t believe I just caught a body,” witness Cheyenne Papach testified Tuesday.
“And he was smiling about it.”

Papach, who was in a relationship with Marco Rico — another man connected to the case who pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact and conspiracy charges in 2020 — was with the three men on the night of the murder.
She testified that while she was having sex with her ex-boyfriend on the beach near Aruba Beach Cafe, Holston, who was 19 at the time, and Garcia Romero, who was 20, slipped away and robbed Randazzo.
When the four met back up at Rico’s Nissan Sentra, the men allegedly admitted they had robbed someone of his shoes and iPhone, but when Holston showed Papach the stolen phone, it was locked.
Holston then ordered the group to return to where they had robbed Randazzo to retrieve the password.
When they returned to the scene, Randazzo was found lying on the ground, not fully coherent, and Papach watched as Holston and Garcia Romero yelled at him for the password, WPLG reported.
She claimed Holston then fired his gun and killed Randazzo.

Start shooting these evil fools. Won’t take long and they will stop behaving badly.
This just breaks my heart. Off-duty firefighter is working TWO jobs. Leaves his second job as a bartender at Aruba Beach Cafe around 1 a.m...and gets murdered for his phone and shoes by the lowest of low life. All three of the scum should fry.
Florida needs to “catch some bodies.” Death Penalty X 2.
If they are found guilty, I hope everyone involved before and after the murder get the most severe punishment available.
Oh that brief snippet is pregnant with so much information. I won't even have to consult
my Hanna-Barbera guys at Jellystone Park for confirmation. We know. We always know.
Spit.
The very low conviction rate and the fact that parole and the tossing out of a trial verdict for another one (Murdaugh now)
emboldens criminals. Even the half of states with a death penalty mostly do not actually carry it out (7 states account for nearly all of these in a given year).
Curious, Do White people kill people for their sneakers?
Never heard of any. I guess Black and Hispanic people do.
You GUESS???
Freedom fry these thugs. They don’t deserve to breathe oxygen.
They’re not animals, they’re sub-humans.
Answer to this problem is an old one—Electric Chair.
The Electric Chair is too good for them. Drawing and quartering would be more appropriate.
As soon as I read “phone and sneakers” I knew
Florida, not very smart get out the marshmallows
Regards,
Abd some people wonder why we want to deport!
