SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — Friends of Mistie Reynolds told Channel 9’s Angela Jacobs that she had recently moved to Osceola County to start a new life.
Osceola County deputies said Seminole County Deputy Daniel Carrero shot Reynolds Friday night behind a gas station moments before he turned the gun on himself.
The couple was together for eight years, friends said. They said Reynolds tried to end the relationship peacefully.
The gun that was used was not his department-issued firearm, deputies said, but his own personal weapon.

“She would take care of us all, she was everything. She loved this company. She was my driving force,” said Clint Lyttle, who worked with Reynolds at Kombat Security. “We all knew he didn’t want her to leave. I think everybody in her life knew that.”
Lyttle told Eyewitness News he wasn’t aware of any threats Carrero may have made to Reynolds.
Seminole County deputies said they were not called to the Winter Springs home the couple shared in the past year for any domestic-related calls.
