Michele Violette is recovering from a traumatic shooting incident that occurred four months ago in New Port Richey. She and her ex-husband Bruce Parks were clearing land on their property when they heard gunshots coming from a neighbor. As Parks called 911, Aaron Rodriguez approached them and opened fire, killing Parks while he was pleading with the shooter not to shoot. Violette attempted to flee but was shot in the back by Rodriguez before stumbling into a nearby home where neighbors provided initial aid. First responders arrived shortly after, and Rodriguez was later arrested following a shootout with deputies outside his residence. He now faces multiple charges including murder and attempted murder while awaiting a pre-trial hearing in Pasco County. Violette has begun fundraising efforts to cover her medical expenses and rebuild her business following the devastating attack.
