Anaysha Donjoie

Anaysha Donjoie, a 20-year-old Black female from Lauderhill, Florida, was a mother to a young daughter. Her life was cut short on what should have been a day of celebration—her 20th birthday.

In the early morning hours of August 14, 2022, the Broward Sheriff’s Office in Pompano Beach received two ShotSpotter alerts for gunfire around 3:09 a.m. in the area of North Cypress Road and Copans Road. Shortly after the alerts, Anaysha herself called 911. She told the dispatcher that she had been shot and was driving herself to the Broward Health North hospital for help. When deputies arrived at the hospital, they found Anaysha in her vehicle, which had crashed into a tree on the property. Emergency room staff rushed her inside for treatment, but despite their efforts to save her, she was pronounced dead at 3:24 a.m.

Homicide detectives with the Broward Sheriff’s Office began an investigation that would unfold over several months. Their work led them to identify a suspect, 22-year-old Irvin Delisma of Pompano Beach. At the time of the shooting, Delisma was on pre-trial release for unrelated drug charges and was required to wear a GPS ankle monitor. According to court records, he left his home without authorization shortly before 2:00 a.m. on August 14 and had tampered with his monitor, rendering it inoperable, by 2:34 a.m. Delisma was arrested the following day, on August 15, for violating the conditions of his release.

While Delisma was in custody at the Broward County Main Jail for the violation, investigators continued to build their case in Anaysha's murder. On November 30, 2022, a warrant was issued for his arrest in connection with her death. In mid-December 2022, a grand jury returned an indictment, and Delisma was charged with first-degree murder with a firearm.

Irvin Delisma entered a plea of not guilty on January 10, 2023. He remains held without bond as the case proceeds through the legal system. As of January 2023, authorities had not publicly disclosed a motive for the shooting or the nature of any relationship between Delisma and Anaysha Donjoie.
