Filomena Garay-Chavez, 23, was found bleeding and unconscious in the front yard of her home on State Road 29 in Immokalee, Florida, at about 2 a.m. on August 12, 2009. Deputies transported her to Lee Memorial Hospital in Fort Myers, where she later died from her injuries. An autopsy was performed, but many injury details remain part of an ongoing investigation.

Neighbors reported hearing gunshots and other noises that night and described a dark pickup truck leaving the area after the shots. One account says Garay-Chavez suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and stomach and may have been struck with a shovel, though those specifics have not been officially confirmed. The nearby home was owned by a West Palm Beach company and the area had only two residences, unsettling neighbors.

No arrests have been announced and investigators have said the case lacks solid leads. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Collier County Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers.
