Woman Arrested for Allegedly Killing Two Ex-Husbands in One Day
21 Dec
Summary
- A Florida woman is accused of fatally shooting two ex-husbands on the same day.
- She allegedly posed as a delivery driver to gain access to one victim.
- Investigators discovered the second alleged murder after confronting the suspect.
A 51-year-old woman from Citrus County, Florida, has been arrested and charged with the second-degree murder of one ex-husband, with prosecutors planning to seek more severe charges. This arrest follows revelations that she allegedly killed another ex-husband hours earlier in Hillsborough County. The investigation suggests a "brazen" double homicide that began with the shooting death of her second ex-husband in Hillsborough County before she traveled to Manatee County.
Authorities responded to a shooting call in Bradenton, where a man was found with a gunshot wound. He identified his ex-wife as the shooter before succumbing to his injuries. Detectives determined Avalon allegedly used stolen food to pose as a delivery driver. The victim's teenage daughter reported seeing a silver Honda Odyssey fleeing the scene. License plate readers tracked the vehicle back to Avalon's home, where she was observed attempting to clean the car.
During the confrontation at her home, investigators realized the potential for a second victim when Avalon inquired "Which one?" when asked about her ex-husband. This led Tampa police to discover her second ex-husband deceased in his home. Avalon reportedly made statements about one ex-husband being abusive and has not fully cooperated with investigators, relying on information from her live-in boyfriend.
