Anquanette Rochelle Skanes, 23, was found shot multiple times on May 22, 2011, in an apartment at the River Breeze Apartments on Court Street in Titusville. Her death was one of two in the same location that day; 35-year-old Lapriet Jordan was also found dead from multiple stab wounds.

The Titusville Police Department investigated for years. A man identified as a person of interest early on was Larry Lee Jr., a former Mims resident who had a prior relationship with Skanes and was the father of her child. In 2016, advanced DNA testing linked Jordan’s bloodstains to a vehicle registered to Lee’s parents. That result and other forensic evidence led to Lee’s arrest and two counts of second-degree murder. He pleaded not guilty and requested a jury trial; he is held without bail in the Brevard County Jail Complex.

Many details of motive and the full sequence of events remain part of the ongoing legal process. Anyone with information about Skanes, Jordan, or the River Breeze Apartments in 2011 is asked to come forward.
