Michael Tarulli, 26, was shot dead on November 8, 2018, in a double homicide that also claimed the life of his girlfriend, Jenny Koonoolai-Jagdeo. The killings occurred at their Miami Lakes Town Center apartment; neighbors reported hearing multiple gunshots around 7:30 a.m. Responding crews found Tarulli’s body outside the couple’s second-floor unit and Koonoolai-Jagdeo inside, and both were pronounced dead at the scene by Miami‑Dade Fire Rescue.

Investigators identified Jenny Koonoolai-Jagdeo’s ex-boyfriend, 27-year-old Thales Ferreira of Coconut Creek, as the prime suspect. Arrest documents say Ferreira had been stalking Koonoolai-Jagdeo, stole a .40 caliber Smith & Wesson handgun from a Broward County apartment the night before, and was captured at Miami International Airport while trying to board a flight to Brazil. Authorities recovered nine .40 caliber shell casings at the scene, surveillance footage and witness statements placed Ferreira at the location, and a witness reported he admitted he had killed someone. Ferreira was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and taken into custody.

What details might someone who knew Michael or Jenny remember that could help clarify events that morning?
