Laci Mae Gilileo was a 15-year-old sophomore at Bloomingdale High School when she was shot and killed after a Halloween party in Thonotosassa, Florida. The shooting occurred just after 2 a.m. on November 1, 2022, following a fight at the gathering. Laci, dressed as a dark angel, was shot while trying to leave in a friend’s car; she was later found at a nearby gas station, taken to hospital, and died of her injuries. Another teenager was wounded in the incident and survived.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office opened an investigation that remains active. Despite numerous people at the party, the shooter has not been identified and detectives have renewed appeals for tips, saying any information could be important. Laci’s mother, Paige Smith, said Laci was artistic and loving and had a positive influence on those around her.

Did anyone who attended that party or who remembers the area that night see something that could help investigators?
