Gregory Truman was 38 when he was shot to death at his Arcadia, Florida, home on April 2, 2021. Family and friends remembered him as a sweet, kind, and gentle man who loved his family and deserved a long life.

On April 2 a 911 call came from Gregory’s wife, 38-year-old Joni Truman, who told the dispatcher she had killed her husband and said she believed she was insane. Deputies from the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office found Gregory inside the doorway of the apartment with multiple gunshot wounds to the head and shell casings around him; Joni was waiting in the driveway and told officers she had killed him. In interviews she said she decided to kill Gregory while they were driving home from Sarasota, that he was controlling and refused to grant her a divorce, and that he lunged at her before she shot him four or five times.

An arrest had been made and charges were filed. If anyone knew Gregory or has information about what happened that day, please come forward.
