Wseni Marc Laguerre, 39, was fatally shot at a home on 202 Palm Avenue in Eustis, Florida, on January 30, 2023. He suffered multiple gunshot wounds, including three close-range shots, and died after being taken to a hospital. Police described the killing as a targeted act that occurred outside his mother’s house while family members were inside.

Eustis Police identified Austin Hill, 27, of Mount Dora as the person responsible; Hill was in custody on other charges when authorities announced his arrest and faces a first-degree premeditated murder charge. Hill has a lengthy criminal record and had been released from prison in November 2022 after serving a 10-year armed robbery sentence. Chief Craig Capri called the shooting a cold, calculated murder and said Hill and Laguerre did not know each other, though Hill knew who he was targeting.

Laguerre’s family remembered him as a peaceful, beloved man who kept the family together and de-escalated conflict. The investigation remains active. If anyone knew Wseni Laguerre or saw activity around 202 Palm Avenue on January 30, 2023, please come forward with information.
