In a shocking incident in Florida, a man was shot in the face while having his hair braided by a colleague, as her boyfriend abruptly entered and opened fire, according to authorities.

Court records from Orange County reveal that Jon Fuller, 31, faces charges of first-degree murder. Fuller has entered a plea of not guilty. Local news outlets, including NBC affiliate WESH, identified the victim as 28-year-old Cameron Hoilette.

The incident occurred during Thanksgiving week, amidst reported relationship difficulties between Fuller and his girlfriend, as detailed in an affidavit obtained by Law&Crime. The couple, together for almost a year and a half, were expecting a child, with the girlfriend nine months pregnant. Their relationship was strained by the physical distance between them.

Approximately two months earlier, the girlfriend relocated about 180 miles north to Orlando from West Palm Beach after Fuller informed her of a call center job opportunity there. He assured her he would soon join her. However, the long-distance nature of their relationship led to rising tensions, with Fuller starting to suspect her of infidelity.

The girlfriend, in turn, was also discontented. As per court documents, she was “upset with the defendant” for allegedly misleading her about the job’s start date. This led to reduced communication between them, which fueled Fuller’s suspicions about her loyalty.

The day before Thanksgiving, he called her, “stating that he missed her and wanted to come see her on Thanksgiving,” the affidavit states. She told him not to, stating she was busy and had plans. But Fuller “ignored her and came to her apartment anyways.”

At about noon on Thursday, the defendant arrived at her apartment at the Summit Centre Way apartment complex in Orange County, Florida, and knocked on her door. She opened up, saying she “was currently braiding someone’s hair” and that she told him not to come over.

He didn’t listen, proceeding past her into her home, authorities said. The court document notes that the woman did not stop him as she “assumed” he was “just going to watch her braid the Victim’s hair.”

That was not the case.

According to the affidavit, Fuller approached the other man, who stated “if there was a problem he would just leave, and that he only came to get his hair braided.” Then, “[w]ithout warning the defendant pulled out a firearm and shot the Victim in the face.”

The girlfriend ran out of her apartment, reportedly scared that her boyfriend would shoot her next. He followed her, and she “asked what he was thinking and stated that it was only her coworker.” He had a “shocked expression on his face” and “began mumbling something that she couldn’t understand,” the affidavit said.

Fuller allegedly got into his vehicle and asked his girlfriend to join him. She said no, and he stated he was heading back to his home.

Officers with the Maitland Police Department responded to the scene at about 12:12 p.m. Fuller was not there, but the girlfriend was. About 30 minutes later, officers “observed the deceased Victim in the back bedroom laying on the floor in front of a mattress. He had an obvious gunshot wound to the face,” and a spent shell casing sat on the mattress.

Fuller was arrested later that day.

The defendant appeared in court for the first time on Friday. It is unclear when he is next due in court.
