I&#8217;m devastated. It&#8217;s just so shocking and very upsetting especially this time of year.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donna Smith also had been reported as saying &#8220;He thought that the realtor, who was showing the home, he thought it was the owner of the house, and she was ambushed. She was sitting in her car,&#8221; said Donna Smith, who lives in the area.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coral Springs Police detectives conducted an investigation and have arrested one Raymond W.
