Jonathan Maciel, 34, of Fort Pierce, Florida, was found outside his home on August 23, 2016, with multiple gunshot wounds after a domestic dispute. The argument began between Maciel and his live-in girlfriend, Ana Maria Calcagno, over his interactions with another woman on Facebook. The situation escalated when Calcagno’s daughter, Briana Wilson, and her boyfriend, Ashlyn Leon Salomon, became involved.

Salomon, 26, who held a concealed weapons permit, arrived and engaged in a physical confrontation with Maciel. The altercation ended when Salomon shot Maciel multiple times; no weapon was found on Maciel. Salomon was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and claimed he acted in self-defense, asserting he believed Maciel had a gun. The defense sought to apply Florida’s Stand Your Ground law but the court rejected that argument. A jury found Salomon guilty of second-degree murder and imposed a sentence with a minimum of 25 years and the possibility of life.

The case underscores how a domestic dispute spiraled into a fatal shooting and raises questions about self-defense claims and the boundaries of Stand Your Ground; readers who knew Jonathan or saw events that night are asked to share what they know.
