Florida Woman Accused of Killing Boyfriend — Hidden for Months, Now in Court!

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA — What began as a quiet Thanksgiving week in a Fort Lauderdale neighborhood ended in silence, suspicion, and tragedy. Now, months later, the woman accused of pulling the trigger and disappearing without a trace is finally in custody—facing the weight of a murder charge and a community’s disbelief.

Veanitta Lenon, 37, was arrested on May 2, 2025, after spending more than five months under the radar following the fatal shooting of her live-in boyfriend, Jason Bloomfield, 46. He was a father, a friend, and a son—and his life was cut short in the home he shared with the woman now charged with his murder.

A Quiet Killing During the Holidays

The incident dates back to November 23, 2024, just before Thanksgiving. Neighbors recall hearing six loud gunshots ring out from the couple’s apartment on Northwest 21st Street. But what followed was even more disturbing: a chilling silence.

For days, Jason’s family and friends received no responses to texts or calls. Then, a heartbreaking discovery was made—not by police, but by Bloomfield’s 15-year-old son, who entered the home and found his father’s lifeless body concealed in a bedroom. A couch had been shoved against the door in an attempt to hide the scene.

Jason had been shot multiple times. According to investigators, the body was moved post-mortem, and efforts had been made to clean up the scene with bleach, a mop, and rags. But one thing stood out above all else: Veanitta Lenon was gone.

Digital Clues and a Paper Trail

While Lenon vanished, detectives didn’t give up.

Court documents reveal that GPS data, surveillance footage, cellphone pings, and even banking transactions helped piece together her actions in the hours and days following the murder. Investigators allege that she not only fled the apartment but also used Bloomfield’s cellphone to access his accounts—including a Zelle transfer from his bank.

A meticulous 43-page arrest warrant, signed by a Broward judge, laid out the digital evidence and witness interviews. On May 2, Broward County deputies finally located and arrested Lenon. She was booked into the Paul Rein Detention Facility in Pompano Beach, where she remains without bond.

A Courtroom Without Closure

On May 28, 2025, Lenon appeared in court and pleaded not guilty to charges of murder with a firearm and identity theft. Her public defender declined to comment on the case, and no trial date has been scheduled as of this writing.

Family members of Jason Bloomfield were in the courtroom that day—some in tears, others barely able to speak. One friend, who asked to remain anonymous, told Local10,

“Jason was kind. He gave her everything. He never deserved to die like that. And his son—his son found him like that. It’s sick.”

Domestic Violence, Silence, and Tragedy

This case, while unique in its details, echoes a larger truth: domestic violence often hides in plain sight.

There were no immediate public records of domestic disputes between the couple, but prosecutors believe the killing was personal and planned. The cold nature of the alleged cleanup and her disappearance have added layers of darkness to an already devastating loss.

Experts say that many domestic violence victims—and perpetrators—go unnoticed until it’s too late. In this case, the warning signs may have never come, or they may have been missed entirely.

What Happens Next?

Veanitta Lenon remains in custody awaiting trial. Pre-trial motions are expected in the coming weeks, including forensic reviews and possibly mental health assessments.

For Jason Bloomfield’s family, justice is still a process—one that will require more court appearances, more painful reminders, and perhaps, one day, some measure of peace.

His son, who found the body, is now in counseling. Family members have launched a GoFundMe to support his care and therapy needs.

“He’s still just a kid,” said one family friend. “He didn’t just lose his dad. He found him, in the most unimaginable way.”

While the trial may determine guilt or innocence, what it cannot restore is the life lost—or the trauma inflicted on a young son who walked into a nightmare. This story is a haunting reminder that what happens behind closed doors can destroy lives in silence.

Justice may be coming. But healing will take far longer.
