Kimberly Renee East, 27, of Orlando was found dead on May 29, 2017 in a wooded area near Lake Apopka in the 900 block of McCormick Road. Her body was decomposing when discovered, and investigators say she was shot to death over an apparent drug debt.

Court documents say Joshua Emmanuel Delarie Simon, 29, was identified by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office as the primary suspect. Records allege Simon picked up Kimberly from a friend’s home on May 25, 2017 intending to have her engage in prostitution to settle a drug debt; his brother Josef Harris was reportedly in the car. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Simon’s car driving to a dead-end street near where Kimberly’s body was later found, then backing up quickly and speeding away. Kimberly’s friend made repeated attempts to reach her; Simon allegedly reassured them Kimberly would return soon.

Josef Harris was later picked up on an unrelated warrant but has not been charged in Kimberly’s homicide.

Are there witnesses or anyone who knew Kimberly’s movements between May 25 and May 29 who can add information?
