Danny, 53, had been shot seven times and his wife Deana, 51, had eleven bullet wounds, court documents revealed at the time.
Alex Zwiefelhofer, 22, and Craig Lang, 29, have now been accused of robbing and murdering the couple in order to get money to travel to Venezuela.

The two former US Army Soldiers who fought as mercenaries overseas have been indicted by a grand jury in connection to the double homicide.
Craig Lang and Alex Zweifelhofer, who left the military on their own terms through being discharged or going AWOL, served together in the Azov Battalion, a far-right volunteer unit that accepted foreign fighters in their conflict against Russian supported insurrection in the eastern part of the Ukraine.


In 2017, the duo tried to enter south Sudan to fight with the Kenyan military, but were swept up by US officials and sent repatriated to the U.S. When interviewed by a Customs and Border Protection officer, Lang said he the pair fought with the ‘Right Sector’ – a Ukrainian nationalist paramilitary movement.
According to WINK, the two mercenaries have been charged with the murders of Serafin “Danny” Lorenzo, Jr., and Deana K. Lorenzo, who were murdered in Lee County, Florida on April 10, 2018.

The Lorenzos had withdrawn $3,000 in cash for the purchase of four Glocks, two 9mm pistols and nine high-powered rifles, the Washington Post reported.
It is believed the soldiers then lured Danny and Deana to the parking lot of the Galleria in Estero on April 10, 2018, where they were robbed and killed.
Both victims were shot several times. Serafin was shot seven times. Deana was shot 11 times, which was ruled the cause of death for both victims by medical examination.
The killer pair, who had both been discharged from the military, hoped to ‘participate in an armed conflict against the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela’, a federal criminal complaint revealed.
