Zombicon was one of the most popular celebrations in southwest Florida, attracting tens of thousands of attendees dressed in Zombie costumes. But the festival turned violent, when shots were fired in the crowd leaving a 20 year old killed and 5 others wounded. Authorities say the investigation was complicated by the fact that many festival goers were wearing masks, had fake weapons, and were covered in fake blood. But one asset to police were the numerous security cameras and cell phones videos. Diligent police work, hundreds of interviews combined with forensic examination of the videotaped evidence led to the arrest of 23-year-old Jose Bonilla, one of the costumed participants. Bonilla negotiated a plea deal and was sentenced to 30 years.
