Janice Serrano was 4 years old when she was fatally shot in Orlando, Florida, on November 4, 2022. The shooting occurred after a domestic dispute involving family members and Shavell Jones, who was the boyfriend of Janice’s aunt, Asha Baker. Janice’s grandmother Gail Baker and her aunts Shantay Nesmith and Asha Baker were also killed; Janice’s mother, Sharice Nesmith, survived a gunshot wound to the face and later sought help while leaving Janice’s twin sister and older brother safe in another room.

Jones was arrested and charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and attempted murder. The family has been raising funds for burials and coping with their losses while the prosecution moves forward seeking maximum penalties. The case has drawn attention for its brutality and for the role domestic tensions played in the escalation.

Does anyone have information about the night of November 3–4, 2022, or knew Janice and her family?
