Seeing a lady being “forcefully dragged” onto the highway, the workers phoned authorities; before she was hit by a car and subsequently discovered nude on the side of the road.
Via traffic cameras placed along Interstate 95, two employees of the Traffic Management Center for the Florida Department of Transportation saw a woman’s horrific loss as it occurred.
Lorent Junior Pion, 29, was charged with second-degree murder of lover Nahomi Cittadini, 21, and that horrific information comes here. Although he was caught soon after her loss was discovered on December 7, 2024, the murder charge suddenly surfaced this week.
After his first detention, he apparently sent a letter to a court stating, “I am innocent. I did not murder my darling. It happened in an automobile accident. And the automobile that struck her vanished.”
But the narrative presented in the arrest warrant and video evidence contrasts somewhat differently.
Early morning on December 7, the Florida Highway Patrol was sent to an Interstate 95 ramp after two Traffic Management Center employees’ observations of a couple arguing by the side of the road.
According to Local 10, live video shows the duo supposedly seeing victim Cittadini “on the ground fending off the attacker,” who was “standing over [her] throwing punches.” Then, when other vehicles attempted to swerve around her, she reportedly “forcefully dragged” off the side of the road and “towards the I-95 lanes of traffic”.
One of the workers stated Pion “dragged her back to the far-right travel lane in the path of oncoming traffic,” while she “crawled back to the emergency shoulder,” before hitting Cittadini until he abruptly “jumped back” and a car struck her.

Before Miami-Dade Rescue Fire team came on site, Pion reportedly pulled the woman toward his SUV and seemed to be “attempting to load” her corpse into his car. Then he drove off. First responders apparently did not see Cittadini’s corpse.
One worker claimed witnessing “a blood trail leading to where [Pion] dragged [Cittadini] and then observed [her] body still on the scene, face down and unclothed” when workers viewed the cameras a little later.
The medical examiner said her loss resulted from “blunt force trauma due to being struck by a vehicle.”
Before alerting police the culprit was on house arrest, a witness told officers Pion “showed up to his home with blood all over his body.” Though Pion supposedly left the scene once again, investigators followed his ankle monitor until he was eventually caught colliding with “multiple vehicles.”
Blood reportedly both inside and outside of Pion’s car.
The Mother Speaks Out of Cittadini
Maria Benitez, Cittadini’s mother, told NBC Miami after Pion’s murder allegation, “I can’t process it”. “My daughter liked being with her family, her friends; she was a really content person.”
“I know that’s not going to bring my daughter back, but at least she’ll rest easier,” she also said to CBS. “He owes.”
According to Benitez, her daughter, who supposedly had a turbulent and violent relationship with Pion before her loss, was planning to go from Florida to New York.
“I believe he must have found out,” she said. “Many times I advised her [to leave], but she was afraid. She said he would threaten her either with regard to her dad or with regard to me. His obsession with her was intense. My daughter had been born for him, he would tell me often.”
She also told NBC her annoyance with the second-degree murder allegation, saying, “They have to charge him with first-degree. He needs to pass away in prison. Though it may at least somewhat relieve my soul, it will not bring back my daughter.
