Gisselle Victoria-Gonzalez (Hartford Police Department).
Police body camera footage shows cops in Hartford, Connecticut, processing a woman following her arrest in a killing that took place thousands of miles away.
Gisselle Victoria-Gonzalez, 42, faces charges including second-degree murder in Florida for allegedly taking the life of her still-missing roommate, Runyleidy Medina-Pacheco, 42.
The Orlando Police Department has said Victoria-Gonzalez reported the victim missing on Dec. 27, 2022. Cops responded to the 6200 block of Curry Ford Road at around 1:30 p.m. that day. Victoria-Gonzalez allegedly told them she had not seen Medina-Pacheco since Christmas — but authorities say her story didn’t add up.
“As the investigation continued, detectives discovered numerous inconsistencies in the version of events as described by Victoria-Gonzalez,” Orlando police said in a statement. “A search warrant was executed at their residence, where significant evidence was recovered, indicating a violent incident had occurred.”
Authorities eventually tracked down Victoria-Gonzalez in Hartford, some 1,200 miles away from Orlando, and interviewed her. After finding enough evidence to support probable cause, police arrested her on Nov. 6, 2024 — the date of the body camera footage. On the video, Victoria-Gonzalez indicates that she speaks minimal English, and instructions are heard provided to her in Spanish through a police translator.
Meanwhile, Medina-Pacheco remains missing.
