Nothing like being caught on the wrong side of the law, when you were once a law enforcement officer. Noone will understand better what walking down that long corridor means than Sylvia Puig. Hopefully, she has good Karma. It would be good if she weren’t a crooked officer. What would make a wife shoot her husband? He was lying in bed and she shot him?
This story has a lot of missing links. It is a tragedy when relationships end in homicide. Are the days over when parting ways actually worked? Do we need to speak on gun control? It is notable that too many women and men are being killed in domestic disputes from gun usage. These are apparently law abiding citizens where are allowed legally to purchase a weapon, then something happens and they abuse that privilege. Yes it is abuse of privilege when you irresponsibly remove a gun from it’s safety place and decide to commit a crime with it. There is no fight in a marriage that is worth murder is there? Read the story below…
OCALA, Fla. — An Ocala woman called 911 and told police that she shot her husband while in their home at the 1200 block of S.E. 19th Street Wednesday night, Marion County investigators said Thursday.
When Ocala police officers arrived at the home, they found 52-year-old Victor Puig lying in bed, still alive, with a gunshot wound to his face. Victor Puig was transported to the hospital for treatment, where he later died.
Investigators said the couple had been having marital problems, which may have led to the shooting.
Officers recovered a .9-mm handgun from inside the home, which they said is believed to be the weapon Puig used to shoot her husband.
Detectives said they initially arrested Puig for the attempted murder of her husband. However, on Thursday detectives learned of her husband’s death and said she will be charged with homicide.
Puig was transported to the Marion County jail and is being held with no bond.
Puig is a correction’s officer at the Marion County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators said her husband is a former corrections officer for the same agency.
No missing links.
Somebody wrote a letter letting the wife know Vic was cheating.
The letter was from a Co worker who went to the same church as Sylvia.
Now yes its true that the letter came from a Co worker. It was not from the Co worker that went to church with her.
Funny thing is, that same person posted in this thread. She knew wha she was doing. Bet she didn’t think it would end up like this.
It’s been almost ten years, the two people who set this off have to live with them selves every day.
May God have mercy on their souls.

I myself was in Marion County Jail at one time and can say that Mrs. Puig was a caring, concerned, and passionate woman. Also, I would see and speak to both of them at least once a week, as they were very good customers at my place of employment, and they did a very good job at keeping the fact that they had “problems” a secret. However I have noticed over time that Sylvia has lost weight, started wearing contacts, and seemed to be changing her appearance- I truly felt in my heart that she was trying to change her appearance to please him. I saw them on Monday before this happened and nothing really seemed out of the ordinary. I can somewhat understand Sylvia because I have been in her shoes-and I am not justifying what she did but sometimes people just get “pushed” too far and they do things that they just wouldn’t do ordinarily, like I said I knew Mrs.Puig and thats just not her. When I saw this story it blew my mind at first then when I heard her voice in the 911 recording I could tell that that “was not her”, I truly believe she had no idea what she had really done. I feel terrible about this whole thing and you never know maybe she still doesn’t understand what she has done- she may be in some kind of shock. This could have happened because she had enough and kept it all inside and “blew” up in a moment of rage. Just goes to show “Everything done in the dark will eventually come to light”. I pray for Mrs. Puig .

As we mourn the death of my Uncle and the incarceration of my aunt, I ask you all to remember whether you knew my uncle from business, in passing or was one of these” women”, this is time of rememberance and respect. I find it diffucult to understand people who only saw and knew Victor for a short time have so much to say. This woman who’s name is being thrown around is not to blame. That woman has to lay her head down at night and deal with her own demons. (I would not want to be in her shoes) This is a great time of tagedy in my family and whether you have picked a “side” or not the most important thing here is a child lost both his parents in the blink of an eye. He not only has to bury his father and visit his mother in a place where he use to pick her up from work but has to learn about all his family’s dirty laundry on public sites like this. You may all think my aunt was” crazy” but anyone and everyone who got the priveledge of meeting her could tell she was a caring woman who was carrying some burdens. From co-workers to actual inmates this woman made impacts on lives around this entire county. This is a horrible end to a sad love story. For over 30 years these 2 people shared their joys, tears, fears, accomplishments, and a child together. How dare outsiders comment about what they” believe” happened behind closed doors. This trial will bring alot of things to light that noone has ever known. From the day I was born, this man was my uncle. When I was younger, he was the coolest guy on the planet to me. Always dressed nice, was very smart and always took good care of me. Being around so much, I saw firsthand how he could be extremely nice to me or people around but would react harshly with Sylvia or bring her down in some sort of joking way. As a young girl, I knew this wasn’t right. I could see the pain in her eyes. I wondered why she stayed. Thru their horrific financial harships with many business. Ventures, his numerous infidelities and his harsh way of speaking

But NONE of us know how he was with Syliva behind closed doors. i mean dont get me wrong he was a nice person but was he nice to his wife? i mean she changed her looks , she tried to be his EVERYTHING and he turned his head im in NO WAY JUSTIFIY what Sylvia did but . No one rly knows what she felt. My heart goes out to the Puig family , all of Sylvia’s family who i personaly MET and They are so LOVING and caring people and really LOVE HER and thats what family is supposed to do.

Coworker, you actually have some points. It’s not easy to ask the brother whose sister will spend a lot of time in prison, how did you sit back and allow this to happen to your sister. But thanks for putting it out there. Most people will agree with CoWorker because it’s not out of the normal for a woman to leave an abusive man. Now the statement about empowering herself is different. Because sometimes a woman needs help to do this. A lot of times it is another man who comes along and shows her that she deserves better. Perhaps Sylvia never received this type of confirmation.

Joseph, why didn’ tyou help her out of the relationship- according to your arrest record you are 44 years old and living with your sister. You could have helped her out your not a kid anymore. Cheating is cheating, and it wasn’t just one woman so I hope you start attacking everyone on her and releasing ALL the names, smart guy.

Joseph, the toughest thing right now is knowing how the pain that was inflicted on her is now taking a part of her life. That is the difficult part to understand. Of course Joseph, you being on both sides, you might feel the desire to choose, but don’t put that burden on yourself. You did what you could. Their marriage was truly their relationship and although Sylvia did what she could to please him, her husband wasn’t accepting of it. That’s not your fault. Couples bicker back and forth all the time and it doesn’t end in murder. Your sister will be so glad to have you near her and to know that she is in your prayers.

Why doesn’t anonymous with so much to say need to remain anonymous? And isn’t it up to the district attorney to decide what charges should be levied. Homicide is never a good solution to a problem, however seriel cheating isn’t a solution either. If Victor wanted to see other women he should have left the marriage. Infidelity can be very damaging and emotionally abusive-which is every bit as powerful as physical abuse.
