Laquetta Mae Gunther, 45, was found dead in a narrow alley between two buildings on North Beach Street in Daytona Beach on December 26, 2005. The medical examiner concluded she had been murdered on December 24, 2005, after being shot in the back of the head with a Smith & Wesson pistol. She was discovered partially clothed, lying in a fetal position.

At the time of her death Gunther lived on Madison Avenue in Daytona Beach. She had moved to the area from North Carolina in 1985 and had worked as a house painter and formerly as a cook. Reports say she was African American, known to be a sex worker, and had a history of drug abuse.

The murder remained unsolved for many years. If anyone knew Laquetta, her movements in December 2005, or saw suspicious activity near North Beach Street on or around December 24, please share what is known.
