2009 in Mug Shots

Leonard Patrick Gonzalez Jr.
Accused of: double homicide
On July 9, Byrd and Melanie Billings, parents of 17 children, many of them adopted with special needs, were shot to death by masked intruders inside their secluded home in rural Beulah, Fla. Nine of the children were in the house at the time of the murders but were not harmed. Eight people — seven men and one woman — were arrested in connection with the crimes. Prosecutors say they will seek the death penalty for Leonard Patrick Gonzalez Jr., 35, the alleged ringleader. He has pleaded not guilty.
