Tyanna "TT" Milagros Velasquez, a 19-year-old woman from Kissimmee, Florida, tragically lost her life on September 3, 2017. The incident occurred in a home on Forrest Avenue in Kissimmee, where Velasquez was found shot in the back bedroom. According to reports, the suspect, 18-year-old Nicolas Rincon, was known to Velasquez. The exact nature of their relationship remains unclear, but it was confirmed that they were acquainted.
On the day of the incident, Rincon brought Velasquez to the home, where they went into a bedroom and shut the door. A loud noise was heard, followed by what was believed to be a gunshot. When a witness entered the room, they found Rincon standing over Velasquez, who had been shot in the face. Rincon reportedly told the witness, "I told her not to mess with the gun," before leaving the scene. He was arrested near the scene a few hours later, with a Glock handgun in his possession. The serial numbers on the gun had been scratched off, raising further suspicions about the weapon's origin.
Rincon was charged with homicide and held in the Osceola County Jail without bail. The case drew significant attention from the local community, with many expressing their shock and sadness over the loss of Velasquez, who was remembered as a loving and kind person. The investigation revealed that Rincon and Velasquez had been seen together at a nearby gas station hours before the shooting, adding another layer of complexity to the case.
The legal proceedings against Rincon began shortly after his arrest. He faced charges of murder and possession of a firearm with altered serial numbers. The community and Velasquez's family awaited justice, hoping for answers and closure. The case highlighted the tragic consequences of gun violence and the impact it has on families and communities.
