Tiffany Linquanti, 26, of Orlando was shot on July 21, 2018, in the Lake Nona apartment she shared with her boyfriend, Justin Pruitt, and died on July 29 after eight days in a coma. Pruitt called 911 saying Linquanti had shot herself but hung up when dispatchers tried to get more information. She was found with a gunshot wound and taken to the hospital.

Investigators and witnesses reported a history of domestic violence and threats in the relationship; friends and family said Pruitt had previously threatened Tiffany with a gun and that his drinking made the relationship volatile. Phone evidence and calls Pruitt made the night of the shooting, including to his father and a retired homicide detective, and deleted phone records were later noted as suspicious.

Pruitt was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, then pleaded no contest to first-degree manslaughter with a firearm as part of a plea deal and received a prison term of more than ten years with credit for time served since his 2018 arrest. Tiffany’s mother, Lilia Linquanti, did not believe Tiffany had attempted suicide and pointed to Tiffany’s plans and excitement about graduating from Valencia College. If anyone knew Tiffany or has information about that night, please share what you remember.
