Five Years After Drive-By Killing, Gabriella Hanley’s Case Remains Unsolved

Authorities have renewed public appeals for tips as investigators continue forensic and digital follow-ups to try to identify the shooter and give answers to Hanley’s daughter.

Overview

The shooting that killed 20-year-old Gabriella Hanley happened on Oct. 5, 2021, when a vehicle pulled alongside her car on Southeast Green River Parkway and fired multiple rounds.
Crime-scene work found 37 bullet impacts to Hanley’s Kia and recovered numerous 9mm cartridge casings that forensics say were fired from two different firearms.
Port St. Lucie police identified several people of interest early in the probe but have made no arrests in the five years since the killing.
Hanley left behind a daughter who was 14 months old at the time and is now six, and family members have been handing out flyers and speaking publicly to urge witnesses to come forward.
Detectives are actively asking anyone with information to call the Port St. Lucie Police Major Crimes Division at 772-871-5000 or Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers at 1-800-273-8477 and say even small tips could help move the case forward.
