REMEMBER Linda-Ann

Linda-Ann Legrier

31 YEARS OLD ·

Orlando,

Florida

Linda-Ann Legrier was a 31-year-old mother whose family remembered her devotion to her 5-year-old son, Josiah. Her brothers described Josiah as the love of Linda-Ann’s life and said she put her son before anything else. At the time of her death, Linda-Ann had recently moved into a new apartment with her son and was looking forward to a job interview scheduled for the morning she was killed. Her family has continued honoring her while raising Josiah and speaking publicly about domestic violence.

Linda-Ann was the mother of 5-year-old Josiah, whom her family described as the center of her life. Her brothers, Antonio and Tommy, remembered their sister as a devoted mother who consistently put her son first.

Linda-Ann had recently moved into a new apartment with Josiah and was preparing for a new opportunity in her own life. She had a job interview scheduled for the morning of June 26, 2023. Following her death, her family committed themselves to caring for Josiah and raising awareness about domestic violence.

THE RECORD

On June 26, 2023, 31-year-old Linda-Ann Legrier was found fatally shot inside her Orange County apartment alongside her boyfriend. Authorities investigated the deaths as an apparent murder-suicide.

The night before her death, Linda-Ann had asked her mother to come to the apartment and take her 5-year-old son, Josiah. She had packed a bag for him and told her mother to make sure he got away from the situation. Her mother later told WESH that she pleaded with Linda-Ann to leave as well.

The following morning, Linda-Ann’s mother returned to the apartment and discovered the couple. Linda-Ann had been scheduled for a job interview that morning.

RELATIONSHIP CONTEXT

Boyfriend

Linda-Ann was in an intimate relationship with the man found dead alongside her. The night before her death, Linda-Ann asked her mother, Linda Henry-Legrier, to come to her apartment and take Josiah. Linda-Ann had already packed a bag for her son and told her mother to make sure he “gets away from this.” Her mother urged Linda-Ann to leave as well, but Linda-Ann remained at the apartment.

The following morning, her mother returned and discovered Linda-Ann and her boyfriend with fatal gunshot wounds.

INFORMATION LIMITATIONS

Available sources provide meaningful information about Linda-Ann's life, her relationship to her son, her family's concerns immediately before her death, and the circumstances in which she was found. They provide comparatively limited information about the history of the intimate relationship before June 26, including specific prior assaults, protective orders, stalking, threats, coercive control, or prior law-enforcement involvement. Those indicators remain unknown unless additional records establish them.

TRANSPARENCY / RECORD NOTE

Contemporary reporting describes Linda-Ann's death as an apparent murder-suicide and documents her family's concerns immediately before her death. Her mother reported that Linda-Ann arranged for Josiah to leave the apartment the previous night and told her to make sure he got away from the situation. Because the suspected perpetrator died, there was no criminal prosecution through which the circumstances could be adjudicated.
