On the 11th floor of the Advent Health Hospital in Daytona Beach, Florida,

Hector Aponte was the bedside nurse doing hourly rounds.

The floor was full with 34 patients.

Hector was assigned to five patients on this Saturday, January 21st, 2023, in the critical care ward. One of those patients was an elderly

man named Jerry Gillen, who was in his room with his wife Ellen at his side. At one point that

morning, Hector heard something, a noise. It happened around 11 a.m. and it was coming from Jerry's hospital

room. He went to investigate. I heard a huge, like, man or like somebody fell. It didn't sound

to me like a gunshot. I just felt like somebody fell to the floor from the bed.

And when you walked into the room initially, what did you first do?

When I first get into the room, I put my gloves on and asked, like, do you need

help?

What's going on?

And then when I stopped close to the sink, I saw that the patient heads was covered with

the pillow, and when I realized Mrs. Selle was pointing on me.

Inside room 1106, 77-year-old Jerry Gillen lay on the bed in a pool of blood, his face covered with a pillow.

He was dead.

He had been shot in the head, and standing next to his body was Jerry's 76-year-old wife, Ellen.

Ellen then pointed the gun directly at Hector.

You're saying she pointed at this gun. Can you describe the gun?

It's a black, black gun small. That's all I can remember. I don't know much about guns.

It seemed like a revolver, but it was just black.

When she pointed that gun, how did you feel?
