Jozory Espinosa Polanco, 38, was shot to death in the early hours of March 5, 2021, at a residence near East 40th Street and Seventh Avenue in Hialeah, Florida. Neighbors reported hearing six gunshots; officers arriving at the home found her struck by multiple bullets and pronounced dead at the scene. She had been staying with her parents at the time.

Investigators identified her husband, Joel Luis Polanco, as the primary suspect. The couple had been married 15 years and had two children; family members said the shooting was linked to disputes over their ongoing divorce. Joel Luis Polanco fled in a dark gray 2018 Toyota Camry and was considered armed and dangerous. He was arrested the following day and charged with first-degree murder, held without bond at Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

Neighbors and relatives described Jozory as loving and caring and the community rallied around her family. Does anyone in Hialeah have information about that night or recall seeing the Camry in the area?
