YolizMarie DeJesus Borrero was 22 when she was shot dead on April 30, 2014, in her Orlando home. She was lying in bed with her four-month-old daughter when a gunshot to the head killed her; her four-year-old son from a previous relationship was also in the house that night. Her fiancé, John Michael DeJesus, initially told police armed intruders had broken in and shot her, but investigators said evidence and witness testimony contradicted his account.

A neighbor’s surveillance video captured a man running from the direction of the house to a nearby lake and then returning around the time of the killing; the murder weapon was later recovered submerged in that lake. The four-year-old son reportedly described a movie scene and said, That’s how daddy killed mommy, a statement that prosecutors used alongside physical inconsistencies in DeJesus’s story. The jury convicted John Michael DeJesus of first-degree murder and sentenced him to life without parole; he was also ordered to have no contact with the infant daughter or YolizMarie’s family.
