Leslie Torres Fernández, 39, was shot and killed in St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, Florida, on July 25, 2024. Officers found her face down in the street at the intersection of 27th Street North and 59th Avenue North after reports of gunfire; she had apparent gunshot wounds to her upper body and was pronounced dead shortly after being taken to the hospital. Torres Fernández was originally from Candelaria, Artemisa, Cuba, and had arrived in the United States in January 2024 under a humanitarian parole program.

Investigators say the shooting was carried out randomly by 14-year-old Jaevion Darrell Harvey, who allegedly stole a gun from his father’s bedroom. Security cameras reportedly captured him fleeing on a bicycle. A search of Harvey’s home near the scene recovered a firearm confirmed as the murder weapon, additional firearms, large quantities of ammunition, 3.8 kilograms of cocaine, 53 grams of crack, 3 grams of MDMA, and $184,964 in cash. Harvey is reported to have confessed to the shooting. His father, Jarvis Armand Spencer, 37, with a lengthy criminal history, was arrested on multiple weapons and trafficking-related charges.

Did anyone in the area see a person on a bicycle around 10:52 a.m. that morning or have information about Torres Fernández’s activities that day?
