Woman dead, man injured in possible murder suicide attempt

Police still investigating shooting, no statement on who pulled the trigger

By Ed Brock


Police are still investigating a double shooting in Sanford, Florida, that left a woman dead and a man with life threatening injuries. Investigators did say the deceased victim, 25-year-old Juhi Parmar, was in a relationship with the man, Elisha Gilmore, who survived the shooting and called 911.

Parmar and Gilmore, 27, were found in Gilmore’s residence on Orange Avenue on Jan. 17 after Gilmore called 911 to report the shooting, said Sanford PD Public Information Officer Bianca Gillett. When officers arrived Gilmore did not answer the door, so officers forced entry and found the couple in a bedroom.

Both victims were taken to Central Florida Regional Hospital, where Parmar was pronounced dead. Gilmore was still in the hospital being treated for his injuries as of Wednesday. Gilmore was in critical but guarded condition, Gillett said, and she did not know if he was conscious.

Parmar is the daughter of Jitendra and Meena Parmar, formerly of London, England and currently living in Orlando,Florida.

Gillett said Wednesday the police still had not identified the shooter, though police said they are not looking for anybody outside of Gilmore and Parmar.

“After hearing the news of a tragic incident such as this, there is an immediate question as to ‘why’ this occurred,” Sanford Police Chief Cecil Smith said in a statement. “We want to find the answers for the victims, their families, and our community. Our investigators have been working nonstop writing search warrants, interviewing many people connected to both individuals, and processing physical evidence.”

Sanford police are asking anyone with information regarding this incident to contact the Sanford Police Department or Crimeline at 800 423-TIPS (8477) or visit www.crimeline.org. Calls made to Crimeline remain anonymous and tips that lead to solving a felony case are eligible for a cash reward of up to $5,000 dollars.

Naga Munchetty exposes online scam that used her fake photos on social media

BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty has expressed her shock and frustration after discovering that her name and image were being used in online scams. In a personal account published on the BBC website, Munchetty described how fake advertisements featuring manipulated images of her were circulating on social media platforms like Facebook and X. These ads included crude photoshopped pictures of her face on someone else’s body, alongside links to fraudulent websites.

Munchetty said she was “mortified and bemused” by the ads, which were designed to trick people into clicking on fake news articles. These articles falsely claimed she had been detained by the government after revealing a “lucrative loophole” to make money during an interview on ITV’s This Morning. The fake articles used the BBC’s logo and branding to appear legitimate, but they were part of a scam to lure people into investing in a fraudulent cyber trading platform.
