Nicole Novak, a 26-year-old white woman, was killed on February 7, 2018, in Lake Worth, Florida. She was shot in the head outside a convenience store by her boyfriend, Hugo Steven Selva, 22. After the shooting Selva put Novak’s body in his SUV and drove the wrong way on Interstate 95, causing multiple head-on collisions before a sheriff’s deputy shot and killed him on the interstate.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office identified Selva as the primary suspect and linked him to a broader crime spree that included two other nonfatal shootings in the days before February 7. Selva had a documented history of violent behavior, including an earlier family petition alleging threats with a butcher knife, and reported struggles with drug abuse and prior criminal activity. The deputy involved was placed on administrative leave following the shooting.

What information or memories do readers have about Nicole, her routine that day, or the convenience store area that might help illuminate her final hours?
