Michelle O’Connell, a 24-year-old woman, was found dead on September 2, 2010, in the St. Augustine home she shared with her boyfriend, Jeremy Banks. The body had a gunshot wound to the face; a second bullet was found in the bedroom carpet by her right arm and Jeremy’s service weapon was nearby. Jeremy, a sheriff’s deputy, said the couple had argued that night after a concert and that he heard a shot while in the garage, then broke down a locked bedroom door and found Michelle on the floor. The death was first ruled a suicide.

Family and friends disputed suicide, citing Michelle’s excitement about a new job and future plans. Investigators found empty prescription pill bottles in Jeremy’s name inside Michelle’s purse while pills were later located in her pockets, but toxicology showed no trace of those medications. A second independent review reportedly produced evidence that prompted the original medical examiner to amend the cause of death to probably a homicide, though that amendment was never officially filed and no charges have been announced.
