She was discovered inside a home located at 2611 14th Avenue SE, alongside another victim, 24-year-old Alexis Martinez. Both victims had suffered fatal gunshot wounds. The incident was immediately classified as a double homicide by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
Investigations revealed that this was not a random act of violence.
Authorities quickly identified McKinsie Alexander Lyons, a 38-year-old man, as a suspect in the case. Lyons, who also goes by the name McKinsie Sharp, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, the murder of an unborn child, burglary, and possession of a firearm by a felon. It was later confirmed that Juanita Donna Solorzano was pregnant at the time of her death, adding another layer of tragedy to the case.
In addition to Lyons, another individual, 32-year-old Samona Louise Ramey, was also charged in connection with the murders. Ramey faced first-degree felony murder charges and was denied bond. The authorities have established a possible motive for the killings, although specific details have not been publicly disclosed. The investigation into the double homicide remains ongoing, with law enforcement urging anyone with information to come forward.
The deaths of Juanita Donna Solorzano and Alexis Martinez have left a profound impact on the Ruskin community. The case highlights the devastating consequences of gun violence and the importance of thorough investigations to bring justice to the victims and their families.
