by Miami, Florida – Prosecutors say a woman screamed for help seven times before her voice went silent as her boyfriend allegedly beat her unconscious, an attack that ultimately led to her death weeks later.
Authorities have now charged 55-year-old Florian Renaudo with second-degree murder in the death of his girlfriend, 32-year-old Natasha Lampley, following an investigation that relied heavily on surveillance footage, witness statements, and audio evidence.
Surveillance Footage Captures Final Moments Before Attack
According to an arrest affidavit, surveillance cameras from a restaurant parking lot in Miami captured Renaudo following Lampley on the night of November 18, 2025, moments before the fatal assault occurred.
Police said the couple was seen walking outside a liquor store at approximately 8:55 p.m. A woman who later spoke with investigators identified Lampley in the footage, noting she was wearing distinctive pink shoes and confirmed that the man walking with her was her boyfriend.
Just minutes later, after the pair moved out of the camera’s view, audio captured something far more disturbing.
“A woman’s voice could be heard yelling ‘Help!’ seven times until she goes quiet,” police said.
Witness Connects Suspect to Victim
Investigators said a witness familiar with Renaudo later told police that he admitted to “slapping” Lampley that night. Authorities say that statement, combined with video and audio evidence, helped establish probable cause.
Police emphasized that no one else was seen following Lampley during the critical time window.
“The evidence places the defendant with the victim immediately before the attack,” investigators stated.
Woman Found Unconscious Near Train Tracks
At 9:03 p.m., just minutes after the screams were captured, a 911 call reported that a woman was “being beaten.” Emergency crews from Miami Fire Rescue responded and found Lampley lying unconscious on a sidewalk near train tracks.
She had suffered severe head injuries and was rushed to a hospital, where doctors placed her in a medically induced coma.
Despite weeks of treatment, Lampley never regained consciousness.
Victim Dies Weeks Later From Injuries
Lampley, a mother of two young boys, remained in a coma until December 3, 2025, when she died from complications related to her injuries, according to police.

Medical examiners later determined her death was the result of blunt-force trauma, consistent with a violent assault.
“The injuries sustained during the beating were ultimately fatal,” police said.
Arrest Made Months After Attack
Following an extensive investigation, police arrested Renaudo on Tuesday and charged him with second-degree murder.
During his first court appearance, a judge denied bond, citing the severity of the charges and the evidence presented by prosecutors.
Renaudo remains in custody at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he is being held without bond.
His next court appearance is scheduled for February 25.
Case Highlights Deadly Pattern of Domestic Violence
Prosecutors say the case underscores the dangers of domestic violence situations escalating behind closed doors, often with fatal consequences.
“This is a heartbreaking reminder of how quickly domestic violence can turn deadly,” investigators said.
Advocates note that victims may cry out for help multiple times before being silenced, making community awareness and rapid reporting critical.
Community Reaction and Ongoing Proceedings
The case has shaken those who knew Lampley, particularly given that her final moments were captured on surveillance audio.
Residents and advocacy groups are urging anyone experiencing domestic violence to seek help immediately and report threats or assaults before situations escalate.
Authorities stressed that anyone who hears or witnesses a violent incident should call 911 without hesitation, even if they are unsure what they are seeing or hearing.
What Happens Next
Prosecutors are expected to present surveillance footage, audio recordings, medical evidence, and witness testimony as the case moves toward trial.
Renaudo has not entered a plea, and his defense attorney has not publicly commented on the charges.
As the legal process unfolds, two children are left without their mother, and a city is left confronting yet another deadly case of intimate partner violence.
