Charged with Heinous Double Murder

Two men have been charged with the double murder of 37-year-old Felix Martinez and 40-year-old Adelita Gillett. They are 29-year-old Jovannie Rashad Jones and 23-year-old Jerwin Ormand Segura.

A couple was found shot to death in their vehicle near Mile 31 on the Philip Goldson Highway. Police suspect the murder is tied to a car deal gone wrong, with the couple reportedly meeting someone to collect money owed to them for a failed vehicle purchase. During the exchange, Gillett was allegedly counting the money in the back seat when they were ambushed.

A blood trail in the vehicle suggests the money was stolen. Police found bloodstains on the back seat and on a purse believed to belong to Gillett.

The couple, who lived in Burrell Boom with their 10-year-old son, had demanded repayment after paying for a vehicle in October 2024 and not receiving it. Gillett, a long-time employee of Brodies’ Pharmacy, was serving as pharmaceutical manager at the time of her death.
