Priscilla Torres was a 19-year-old Barry University student who was shot and killed in Miami on February 10, 2018. She was found with multiple gunshot wounds near NW 29th Avenue and 12th Street in the early morning and was pronounced dead at Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center. A witness said they heard a woman scream, then gunshots, and saw a dark-colored vehicle circle the victim and fire additional shots before fleeing.

Investigators arrested 18-year-old Jaime Luis Placencia and charged him with first-degree murder. Surveillance footage places Placencia at Torres’ dorm at 2:34 a.m. and shows the two leaving together at 3:50 a.m.; Torres’ body was discovered about 4:30 a.m. Cellphone records and the victim’s Sunpass data were cited as links to the crime scene. Three days after the killing Torres’ white Nissan Sentra was found burned in Miami Gardens, and Placencia’s phone records placed him near the car when it was set alight. Friends and classmates said Torres and Placencia were close, but the motive has not been established.

Did anyone who knew Priscilla or saw her that night notice anything that might explain what happened?
