Manuel “Manny” Laureanno, 69, was found dead in his Portsmouth, Rhode Island, apartment on the evening of Monday, May 16, 2016, from at least one gunshot wound to the torso. His wife, Lisa Almeida-Laureanno, placed a 911 call saying she had shot him; officers arriving at East Main Road arrested her at the scene and seized a revolver and other firearms. Police described the incident as a tragic case of domestic violence and noted a background of domestic issues and alcohol.

Reports say there was no sign of a physical struggle before the shooting. The couple had a prior police response in 2009 that led to Laureanno’s arrest on a simple assault charge that was later dismissed; the two married in 2013. In August 2016 a grand jury indicted Almeida-Laureanno on murder and related firearm charges; she later pleaded guilty to a reduced count of manslaughter and was sentenced in August 2018.

Does anyone have information about Laureanno’s life in Portsmouth or the events leading up to that night?
