On Monday, Auburndale police has informed that the night, before police found Adam Hilarie dead in his kitchen, the 27 years old Central Florida father, went bowling with a woman he met through the online dating site PlentyOfFish, .
They went back to his place, and she texted him later, “ I had a good time and would like to see you again.”
Deputy Chief Andy Ray said at a news conference that she saw him the next night, when on Friday she brought three men to rob Hilarie of TVs, an Xbox and an iPhone, and one of them shot him in the head, .
Ray said, "In cases like this, it's easy for us to put ourselves in the shoes of the family." He detailed the arrest of four people in connection with the killing, including 18 years old Hailey Bustos, who went on the date with him.
Andre Warner, 26 years old, Gray, 31 years old, and Joshua Ellington, 26 years old, were also arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery with a firearm and first-degree murder. Ray said that he didn't know how the robbery escalated.
According to arrest reports, "Hilarie was begging for his life, he was not putting up any kind of fight, and was telling them that he had a 5 years old daughter" .
Investigators got a break in the case after a witness reported seeing Hilarie with a young woman on Thursday night, and Winter Haven police picked up Bustos in a separate burglary.
