Rape tale led to strip club manager killing man in Davie, police say

Three years ago, Richard Rojas, 18, was shot dead at his ex-girlfriend's front door. Now, she and others who once said they were defending themselves from Rojas are facing murder charges. In July 2005, a man called police to say he'd killed a burglar in the gated Chelsea at Ivanhoe community. Investigators quickly learned the alleged burglar was the former boyfriend of Christin Bilotti, then 17, who lived in the house.

Bilotti told her family that Rojas raped her, and family members later told police that Rojas had broken into the house on several occasions and threatened to kill the girl and her brother.

Martin invasion: 6,000 purple martins roost in Davie

The evening spectacle builds slowly, but soon becomes so loud and compelling that even customers dazed by the price of the $4-a-gallon gas they are pumping look up and take notice.

'Are those bats?' asked Sergio Baena, 32, agog over the aerial commotion above the RaceTrac service station at 2855 Davie Road.

No, those are purple martins, North America's largest swallow, and by the thousands they swoop in just after sunset to roost in three Java plum trees in a narrow parkway between the station and the busy six-lane thoroughfare.
