Jasmine Samuel was 25 and from Orlando when she was abducted and killed on December 17, 2015. Her ex-boyfriend, David Payne, is reported to have taken her and kept her in the trunk of her black Nissan Maxima; while captive she managed to call 911 from the trunk, provided location details and pleaded for help before the call was cut off. Her body was found in the trunk of that car a few hours later; she had been fatally shot.

Prosecutors said evidence showed premeditation and threats against Jasmine; the defense pointed to Payne’s troubled upbringing. The jury convicted him of kidnapping and first-degree murder and imposed a life sentence without parole in January 2022.

Jasmine was a mother of two daughters, ages 4 and 7. Her family had reported she was afraid of Payne before the killing. Does anyone have memories of Jasmine or information about her life that might help preserve her memory?
