Frances Eve Arsenault, 30, was shot and killed during a Father’s Day gathering at a family member’s home on Redwood Country Road in Orlando, Florida, on June 20, 2021. Witnesses heard several gunshots and found her with gunshot wounds to the head, chest, and hand; the hand wound suggested an attempt to defend herself. She was taken to Orlando Regional Medical Center and died just before 3 a.m. the next morning.

Michael Galarza, 46, a brother-in-law who had arrived unannounced the day before, asked Arsenault to step outside and then shot her multiple times. Galarza, described as anti-social and rarely attending family events, told investigators he had come to confront someone he alleged had abused a family member but did not identify that person. He made a phone call to a relative after the shooting asking them to report the alleged abuse. The investigation did not confirm those abuse allegations.

Galarza was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and was being held without bail at the Orange County Jail awaiting trial. Does anyone have information about the gathering or the events leading up to that day?
