Brandi Celenza, 25, of Palm Coast, Florida, was shot to death on the morning of April 7, 2018. Her husband, Keith Johansen, called 911 saying he had heard gunshots while in the shower. Brandi was found with two 9mm gunshot wounds, one in the center of her chest and one in her right breast. An autopsy on April 9 ruled the death a homicide and investigators quickly discounted accidental shooting and suicide.

Investigators found significant evidence tied to Johansen. Multiple cameras had been installed in the house; footage showed the couple arguing two days before the shooting and captured Johansen on camera during the 911 call hiding narcotics and not providing the aid the dispatcher advised. The bedroom camera had been removed two days before the shooting. Johansen gave inconsistent statements and at times suggested others might be responsible.

A jury trial began in October 2021; Johansen claimed self-defense but was convicted of first-degree murder and received life without parole. The case left Brandi’s family and her six-year-old son to cope with her death. Does anyone have information about Brandi’s last days or the relationship that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
