Tamara Naish, a 48-year-old nurse from Riverview, Florida, was found dead in her home on September 22, 2016, after initially being reported as a suicide by her boyfriend, 48-year-old paramedic Thomas Elmore Jr. Investigators found evidence that contradicted Elmore’s account: Naish had been shot twice, including a wound to her hand that suggested she tried to shield herself, and the medical examiner concluded she could not have shot herself. The gun was found in her left hand despite her being right-handed, and her body had been dead for at least 36 hours before Elmore called authorities.

Friends and family described a history of domestic violence between the couple during their three to four year relationship and disputed Elmore’s version of events about an argument involving his dog. In February 2021 a jury found Elmore guilty of second-degree murder; sentencing was scheduled for a later date.

Does anyone have memories of Tamara or information about her life in Riverview that could add context to the case?
