Elizabelle Frenel was 6 years old when she was shot on the evening of April 12, 2019, at the Citrus Ridge Apartments in Haines City, Florida. She was struck multiple times, including wounds to the temple, face, and arm, and died the next night at an Orlando hospital.

Police identified 38-year-old Ernst Cherizard as the suspect. Cherizard, who was in a relationship with Elizabelle’s mother, Eli Junia Normil, is accused of shooting Normil and her sister Nicole Guillume; both women were pronounced dead at the scene. Cherizard reportedly fled after the attack, was later arrested and charged with three counts of first-degree murder, and was denied bond.

The case was described by local officials as arising from a domestic dispute. Community members created a GoFundMe to help with funeral expenses. If anyone knew Elizabelle, her family, or witnessed the events at Citrus Ridge Apartments that night, please share information with investigators.
