One of Idahosa’s close friends, who was with him at the popular spring break destination, recalled the terrifying moment he heard gunshots.

Two days later, a second man was shot and killed along Ocean Drive and 11th Street, when a suspected gunman opened fire at two people around 3:30 a.m. Sunday, according to police.
