A doorbell camera shared by a neighbor shows Roque knocking on her door Wednesday just before 8 p.m.
The neighbor told NBC6 off-camera Roque came to warn her he would be playing very loud music. She said she found it odd but appreciated the notification.
Roque’s other neighbor, Jose Rodriguez, said Roque moved into a home in Florida City about two years ago. Soon after moving, a loved one died, and Roque became very isolated. Rodriguez noted the four locks on his door and said he tinted all the windows black so no one could see inside.

Both neighbors expressed shock over the alleged killing and said they did not know Roque’s girlfriend.
