This just reads like a horrific crime.

Neighbors of the Hofstra University sorority girl who was fatally shot during an early morning break-in Friday say they heard blood-curdling screams and what sounded like a woman pleading for her life at the time of the killing.

Victoria Dehel, who lives four doors down from Andrea Rebello, the 21-year-old victim, told the New York Times that she heard shouting around 2 a.m. in their California Avenue neighborhood in Long Island.

At first is sounded like a bunch of drunk college students, she told the Times.

The twins reportedly lived at the home just a block from campus with more of their sorority sisters

And then the screaming just got worse and worse and worse. And then we heard thuds, like five bangs, she said. Dehel said she and her boyfriend stepped onto their porch and they could hear what sounded like a woman pleading for her life, just as police cars raced down the street.

I turned to my boyfriend and I said, “I think someone just got murdered.” It was awful, she said.

Rebello was at home with three others, including her twin sister, Jessica, when an armed man wearing a ski mask forced his way through the front door at 2:20 a.m. The home is just a block from the campus.

Neighbors told CBS New York that they heard cries for help from the home.

He allowed one of the women to leave the home to withdraw money from an ATM and she called 911, Nassau County Deputy Inspector Kenneth Lack told NBC New York.
