Yessenia Sanchez, a former Miami-Dade Schools Police officer, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after pleading guilty to shooting her ex-boyfriend, Damian Colon, a Miami-Dade Police officer. The shooting occurred in November 2022 outside Colon's family home, where Sanchez tracked him using GPS. Despite their tumultuous seven-year relationship marred by domestic violence incidents, Sanchez's actions culminated in a severe crime that shocked the community and highlighted the pervasive issue of domestic violence affecting all individuals, including those in law enforcement.
"No one is immune to the terror and horror of domestic violence. Former police officer Yessenia Sanchez's shooting of her ex-boyfriend, another police officer, sadly proves this point."
"Sanchez used GPS to track Colon, who was off-duty at the time, to his family's home... she then unholstered her gun, shot him once, and took off."
