'WE JUST MISS HER' 💔 The family of Olivia Maldonado of Frostproof said she was shot and killed a week ago. Deputies have an arrest warrant out for her ex-boyfriend Emilio Gustavo Olalde Angel.

Charismatic with a big heart and a good mother to her 10-year-old were just among the few words her family tearfully used to describe her. She had big dreams of owning her own business and giving her daughter the life she deserves.

If you see Emilio or have any information, deputies are asking you to reach out to law enforcement. Anyone with information can also send information anonymously to Crime Stoppers.

Thank you to Olivia's family for letting us share a glimpse of her life with viewers.
