Eli Junia Normil, 23, of Haines City, Florida, was shot to death on April 12, 2019, at the Citrus Ridge Apartments. Her 48-year-old aunt, Nicole Guillume, was also killed in the same incident. Eli’s 6-year-old daughter, Elizabelle Frenel, died of her wounds the following day at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando. The shooter was identified as Ernst Cherizard, Eli’s boyfriend and the father of their 18-month-old twins; the twins were unharmed in another apartment during the shooting.

Reports say the shooting began during an argument between Eli and Cherizard. Cherizard fled in Eli’s car, which was later found abandoned in the Miami area, and he turned himself in to the Haines City Police Department two days later. He was charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of tampering with physical evidence; a Polk County grand jury returned indictments and Cherizard pleaded guilty to all counts. Authorities noted a Facebook post by Cherizard expressing remorse prior to his arrest. Cherizard now awaits sentencing and could face the death penalty.

If anyone knew Eli, Nicole, or Elizabelle, or has information about the events at Citrus Ridge Apartments on April 12, 2019, please come forward.
