Janeyri S. Urena De, a 28-year-old woman from Port St. Lucie, Florida, tragically lost her life on September 21, 2019, in a harrowing incident that has left the community in shock. Janeyri was one of the three individuals found dead in a single-family home on SW Constellation Road. The incident was a double-murder suicide, with the perpetrator being identified as her 72-year-old husband, Enrique Paulino.
According to police reports, Enrique Paulino called 911 late that night, confessing that he had shot his wife and her boyfriend, 47-year-old Victor Alberto Zamora. Upon arrival, the police discovered the bodies of Janeyri and Victor inside the home, while Enrique was found dead on the patio, having taken his own life.
The investigation revealed that Enrique Paulino had been in a long-term relationship with Janeyri, whom he met in the Dominican Republic before they moved to the United States. The couple had two young children who were present in the house during the incident but were unharmed and found asleep in their beds. The children were subsequently placed in the care of the Department of Children and Families. Friends and family described Janeyri as a loving mother who had recently started working at a local school and was dedicated to providing a better life for her children.
The case has been classified as a double-murder suicide, and no further arrests or suspects have been identified. The police investigation concluded that Enrique Paulino acted alone in the tragic event. The community has been deeply affected by the loss, and efforts were made to bring Janeyri's family from the Dominican Republic to lay her to rest. The incident has highlighted the devastating impact of domestic violence and the importance of support systems for victims and their families.
