THE RECORD
On July 31, 2018, 26-year-old Amy Solice was at the Orange County apartment of her estranged husband, Matthew Solice, to care for their young son. During an argument, Matthew strangled Amy until she lost consciousness. He subsequently called 911, and deputies found Amy unconscious inside the apartment. She was transported to a hospital in critical condition and later transferred to Orlando Regional Medical Center. Amy died from her injuries on August 2, 2018. Their young son was inside the apartment during the assault but was physically unharmed. Matthew Solice was ultimately convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
RELATIONSHIP CONTEXT
Estranged Husband
Amy and Matthew Solice were married but had separated before the fatal assault. According to the arrest affidavit cited by investigators, Amy moved out of their shared apartment on July 12, 2018, amid marital problems. She continued returning to the apartment to care for their young son. On July 31, while Amy was at the apartment, Matthew confronted her during an argument and strangled her until she lost consciousness.

PATTERNS DOCUMENTED IN AVAILABLE RECORDS
These indicators reflect what could be established from available sources. Absence from this list does not establish that a behavior did not occur.
LEGAL / SYSTEM RESPONSE
Matthew Solice surrendered to authorities following the assault. He was initially arrested for attempted murder while Amy remained hospitalized. After Amy died, the charge was upgraded to second-degree murder. He was subsequently convicted of killing Amy, and in February 2020 a judge sentenced him to life in prison.
SOURCES
INFORMATION LIMITATIONS
Available reporting provides substantial information about the fatal assault, the couple's recent separation, and the criminal case but comparatively little information about the relationship before July 2018. No reviewed source establishes prior IPV against Amy, a protective order, prior IPV-related system contact, stalking, threats to kill, coercive control, or other pre-homicide risk indicators. These circumstances remain unknown rather than absent.
TRANSPARENCY / RECORD NOTE
Contemporary law-enforcement reporting documented Amy and Matthew Solice's separation before the homicide, the presence of their young son during the fatal assault, and Matthew's admission to investigators that he strangled Amy. Later reporting establishes that Matthew was convicted of second-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.
