: the 13th jurorJail inmate charged in 2007 slaying of homeless woman
Heath Helvey, 33, was charged with second-degree murder in the death of Venus Martinez.
Martinez, 29, was found July 29, 2007, near the Orlando Lynx bus terminal alongside Interstate 4 near the intersection of Amelia and Garland. She was one of six victims of then-unsolved prostitute killings that year.
Helvey, who already was in custody at the jail on charges including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and assault of a law enforcement officer, admitted having a confrontation with Martinez, but denied killing her.
