FL FL - Angela Aguiar, 38, Fort Lauderdale, 29 June 2008

​

Ft. Lauderdale Police have reopened an eight-year-old cold case involving the shooting death of a woman in the hopes that someone from the community may be able to shed light on what happened.

Angela Aguiar, 38, a wealthy real estate agent and mother of two, was shot twice on June 29th, 2008 while accompanied by her boyfriend in Ft. Lauderdale.

Officers arrived to find her dead in the arms of her boyfriend. He told police a white man in baggy clothing and a headband, who appeared to be homeless, shot her while the couple was sitting inside their beige Toyota Tundra truck.

Angela was found outside of the truck, by the railroad tracks along Broward Blvd and N.W. 2nd Avenue, suffering from two gunshot wounds.

A woman’s coldblooded murder in Jamaica last month has reignited interest in a 10-year-old Florida cold case, the Sun-Sentinel reports.

Omar Best Collymore, 35, was someone of interest in the 2008 killing of Angela Aguiar even before he was charged with masterminding a plot to kill his wife on the Caribbean island Jan. 2, according to the paper.

The paper reported Saturday that Fort Lauderdale detectives are working with Jamaican authorities in hopes of solving the Aguiar homicide.

The two slayings have several similarities, Fort Lauderdale Detective Tracy Figone told the paper.

In addition to being romantically linked to Collymore, both women had life insurance policies that listed Collymore as a beneficiary, the paper reported.

The Sun-Sentinel reported that the court record includes a 2010 email from a detective to the insurer that says, “No progress. Yes, Omar Best is still a suspect.”

The case was resolved with Collymore getting a $400,000 payout. Elijah Aguiar was paid the rest of the life-insurance money.

Jamaica police said assailants on motorcycles killed Collymore’s 32-year-old wife, Simone Campbell Collymore, as she was riding in a cab, the paper reported. The driver also was killed.
