Marisa Sherman, 47, was shot dead in her Plantation, Florida, home on May 8, 2019. The victim and her husband, 73-year-old Fernando De Baere, were reportedly arguing about Marisa’s interactions with a former coworker when the dispute escalated. Police say De Baere became agitated by what he described as her disrespectful tone; he then retrieved a .38-caliber revolver from a bedroom closet and shot Marisa in the face while she sat on the living room couch. She was pronounced dead at the scene shortly after 10:30 PM.

After the shooting De Baere walked to a neighbor’s house and confessed; the neighbor called 911. Officers found him with blood stains on his legs and boxer shorts and arrested him. He was charged with premeditated murder and held without bond at the Broward Main Jail; his trial was pending and no attorney was listed in jail records. The complaint states De Baere told police he aimed the gun from about three feet away and fired one or two shots because he was upset with how she was talking to him.
