Heyzel Obando, a 26-year-old Hispanic woman, was found dead in her Fort Myers apartment on February 14, 2016. Her death was initially treated as suspicious and was later ruled a homicide. She had sustained a single gunshot through the temple that severed her spinal cord and exited the back of her neck. Investigators determined she had been dead for nearly a day before her boyfriend, Earl Antonio Joiner, called 911 reporting he had found her covered in blood.

Joiner, a former University of Florida college football player, was arrested in 2019 on charges of second-degree murder. The investigation noted a history of domestic violence: Joiner had previously been arrested twice for beating Obando, and witnesses described a relationship marked by his violent temper and threats. Neighbors recalled Obando warning that one day she would kill Joiner. On the day she died, Joiner was found performing CPR but officers concluded Obando had been dead for some time.

Anyone with information about Heyzel Obando, her relationships, or the events in Fort Myers around February 14, 2016, is asked to share what they know.
