Valrico woman shot dead during foreplay gone wrong, deputies say
TAMPA — A Valrico man remained in jail Monday on a manslaughter charge resulting from what sheriff's officials described as an act of foreplay gone wrong.
Andrew Charles Shinault, 23, was being held in jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
He is accused of shooting Paloma Williams, his girlfriend of about two weeks, on May 26 in his house at 1035 Grand Canyon Drive in Valrico.
Sheriff's deputies received a call about 12:39 p.m. that day. They arrived to find Williams, 24, in a bedroom, a gunshot wound to her chest, according to an arrest affidavit. Shinault told them he and Williams had been using a 9 mm Taurus handgun for "sexual gratification and arousal," deputies said. It was an activity they had engaged in on prior occasions. They were fully clothed and seated on his bed.
