CCSO says the suspect and victims knew one another. The woman who was killed had an active order of protection against Corrado who was released from prison last year.
According to CCSO, detectives said that around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday Corrado called a housekeeper to help him clean up a residence on 16th Street Northeast. When the housekeeper arrived a blood-stained Corrado led her to a bedroom where the female victim was located. Frightened, she left the residence under the pretense she needed to get cleaning supplies from her car. She drove away and flagged down a CCSO deputy in his patrol vehicle a short distance away.
Deputies found a deceased woman and a man who was in another room with severe head injuries. He was flown by a medical helicopter to a trauma center.
Deputies found Corrado standing outside the home and was arrested and taken to the Collier County jail.
