The Miami-Dade Police Department, Homicide Bureau is conducting a death investigation at the listed location. Upon the officer's arrival, they observed Liana Simon suffering from an apparent gunshot wound and Kevin Rivero deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. According to investigators, Ms. Simon and Rivero, who have been dating, were involved in a verbal dispute inside a vehicle. As Ms. Simon ran away from the vehicle, Rivero discharged his firearm striking Ms. Simon and subsequently shot himself. Ms. Simon was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced deceased.
Liana was described as a friendly, dynamic and dedicated school teacher who touched the lives of many preschoolers and their families.
She was a beautiful young woman I knew and who I would see at the local Jaycee chapter we were members of in Miami. Behind her beautiful face and blond hair was always a smile. I have become a bit more observant of late and when I read this now I realize Liana was a victim of domestic violence, the most dangerous time for a survivor is when she is trying to leave. The statistics are extremely high as reports say one in four women will be a victim of domestic violence. She was perhaps trying to end the relationship or had ended it, but her boyfriend begged her, probably crying and bawling and threatening suicide if she did not meet with him, so she did. She may not have even known she was in an abusive relationship. Her cell phone, her emails were all probably checked by him. It is often hard for a survivor to leave without proper planning. There are many more red flags and warning signs so I encourage you to do a search of those on your own. And I hope you know how powerful and beautiful you truly are. Rest in peace Liana you are gone but not forgotten.
