Robert Timmons, 19, has been arrested by Pasco Sheriff’s Office following the discovery of his girlfriend Victoria Perez’s body on the side of a road in Spring Hill. The 16-year-old student had been reported missing after being last seen Saturday evening in the Shady Hills area. Investigators learned that Perez left with her boyfriend around 1:15 a.m. which led to an escalating argument before he allegedly shot her in the head. He subsequently drove to a nearby location and dumped her body fifteen feet from the roadway while discarding the weapon into water where recovery teams are searching. Sheriff Jeff Harrington stated that there were no prior incidents involving domestic violence between the couple but noted Perez’s parents were struggling to have her leave the relationship. Timmons remains in custody while detectives continue their active homicide investigation. The sheriff emphasized that domestic violence is never acceptable and provided resources for those facing similar situations. Anyone with information about the case is urged to contact authorities anonymously through Crime Tips Line or via their official website.
