Patrick Kane De La Cerda, 25, of Deltona, Florida, was shot to death at his home on February 27, 2018. He had received a call about a delivery he believed was an engagement ring, went to the door, and was ambushed and shot multiple times with a rifle; his body was found later that day by his girlfriend, Jessica Devnani. The crime scene was described as indicating a personal, passionate motive.

Investigators focused on Gregory Bender, 50, of Windermere, who had previously been in a relationship with Devnani and allegedly stalked, harassed, and threatened the couple. A notebook found in Bender’s home reportedly described plans for the killing, and prosecutors said he used a disguise and a ruse to lure Patrick to the door. Bender was arrested, charged with violating a court order and later with murder; evidence presented at trial included the notebook and the motive of jealousy.

Patrick was remembered as optimistic and bright and in a happy relationship, looking forward to the future. Does anyone have information about Patrick, his relationship with Jessica Devnani, or the events around February 27, 2018?
