Allison Marie Sheehan, 46, of Orlando was shot and killed at her home on Smithfield Drive after a birthday party for her son on Saturday, April 15, 2023. Deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office responded late that night and found Sheehan in the master bedroom with multiple gunshot wounds; she was taken to Osceola Regional Hospital and pronounced dead.

Her partner of eight years, 48-year-old Richard Raciak, remained at the scene and later told investigators that during an argument Sheehan stomped on his foot and came at him, prompting him to retrieve a .40 caliber handgun from a locked biometric safe. Raciak told detectives he meant to shoot her in the leg but aimed high and shot her four times; he sent text messages and a photograph of Sheehan’s body to family members before deputies arrived. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder with a firearm; the case was prosecuted as second-degree murder, and he was being held in the Orange County Jail with pretrial proceedings scheduled for August 2023.

Are there witnesses from the party or neighbors who recall hearing or seeing anything that night?
