Trodarius Rainey, 26, was found dead on January 1, 2021, in a wooded area of Lake Jesup Park in Sanford, Florida. Rainey and his girlfriend, Tiffany Church, 35, had been reported missing on December 31, 2020, after their rental car was discovered abandoned in a Sanford parking garage. The couple were last seen December 30 at a gas station. A dog walker found Rainey’s body; investigators immediately treated his death as a homicide.

Authorities say both Rainey and Church had been shot; Rainey suffered multiple gunshot wounds and investigators believe his body was moved to the park. The couple’s black Toyota Camry was recovered with a bullet hole. The Seminole County Sheriff’s Office named persons of interest believed to have known the victims but has made no arrests and the case remains open; a reward is being offered for tips. Rainey had prior convictions including resisting arrest, burglary, grand theft and domestic battery.

Anyone with information about Rainey or Church, their movements around December 30–31, 2020, or the abandoned Camry is asked to come forward.
