Brittany Lorraine Avery-Hoisington, 33, was shot and killed at her Gainesville, Florida home on February 2, 2023. The incident was described as a violent attack at the residence; another person, Trevyon Sheppard, was also killed and two others were shot and survived. Investigators say Dallvion Jarrell Parker, 28, who had been to Brittany’s home earlier that night, returned wearing a hoodie and mask, forced entry and shot her at close range before firing at others and fleeing.

Witnesses and surveillance footage allegedly placed Parker at and near the house between about 1:19 a.m. and 1:41 a.m., and a neighbor reported seeing a black Nissan Sentra near the scene. The Alachua County grand jury indicted Parker on two counts of first-degree murder, two counts of attempted murder, burglary while armed and tampering with evidence; he was in custody without bond. Brittany grew up in Chanute, Kansas, graduated from Gainesville High School and attended the University of Florida. She is survived by her parents Candice and Drew, sister Courtney, brother-in-law Michael, extended family and her dog Lola.
