Hi, do you mind taking down the story from your blog about the girl that got hit by the car. She has been through enough and she does not deserve more media coverage. She just wants to be left in peace.

Hi! Thanks for the question. I am sure the victim has been “through enough,” which is probably why we did not contact her for comment, but we will be keeping the story online for several reasons, some of which include Florida’s broad public records laws, UCF’s large student population and the severe nature of the alleged crimes. If you would like to discuss this further please feel free to call / email / message me again. Thanks!

Cops: Man tried to run over ex-girlfriend in UCF garage

A 20-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly hitting his former girlfriend with his car in a University Of Central Florida parking garage on Friday night.

According to a UCF police report, Paul Gomez hit Kaylyn Martin, a student at the university, with his 2012 Dodge Avenger, sending her several feet in the air.

Witnesses told police that Gomez then crashed his car into a wall on the second level of the “G” Garage, then got out of his car, approached Martin, who was still on the ground, and began “repeatedly” punching her in the face.

The newly-released report said Gomez and Martin had a romantic relationship for the past six months and that Martin attempted to end it several times in the past few weeks.
