New Information Released In Killing Of Pasco Co. Woman

NEW PORT RICHEY, FLA — Nearly a year after a 45-year-old woman was shot and killed in her Menifee Court home, Pasco County authorities released Monday new information and said they are still searching for the shooting suspect.

The Pasco County Sheriff's Office said Bethsaida Robles died around 12:45 a.m., Nov. 1, 2022, after a man broke into her home and fatally shot her.

Authorities said the man first pointed a gun at a witness before moving on to a bedroom where Robles slept with two young children. Robles sat up when the man turned the light on before the man shot her once, authorities said.

"The victim fell on to the floor after being shot, and the suspect shot the victim once more," authorities said in a past news release.

The man then ran from the home and was believed to have gotten into a car, authorities said. Robles later died at a hospital as a result of her injuries, authorities said.

Authorities said the deadly shooting was not random as the man seemingly knew the layout of the home and knew the intended victim.

Authorities described the shooting suspect as a man who is around 5-feet-10-inches tall with a large build. Authorities said he was wearing a skull mask and dark clothing.

The sheriff's office asks anyone with information in the case to call the PSO tip line, 1 (800) 706-2488. Anonymous tipsters can call Crime Stoppers, 1 (800) 873-8477.
