‘Loving’ mother of 3 found dead in Weston home, and cops launch homicide investigation

A Weston woman was found murdered in her home Wednesday afternoon, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

BSO identified the woman found in the 3600 block of San Simeon Circle as 34-year-old Carolyn Espinosa.

Espinosa, whose Facebook page is filled with pictures of her two sons and a daughter, ran a Sunrise microblading and cosmetic tattoo business.

On Thursday, Thanne Michelle Montes, who identified herself as Espinosa’s childhood friend, created a GoFundMe account to raise money to help with funeral costs and provide for her children.

“Yesterday, May 1st, Carolyn was a victim of a fatal attack on her life and it is with heavy hearts that we, her friends and on behalf of her family, are asking for everyone‘s help to raise funds for her funeral expenses and for the future of her 3 children,” she wrote.

More than 200 people raised about $12,000 out of a $40,000 goal as of 11 p.m. Thursday.

Montes described her friend as a caring mother, hard worker and “wonderful human being.”

“She was a loving, caring mother and devoted to raising her children,” she said. “She was always looking to give them the best chance to success to the best of her abilities.”

Police did not release any information on how Espinosa died or if she knew her killer.

Anyone with information on this can call BSO Detective Zack Scott at 954-321-4162 or contact Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS (8477) or via the Broward Crime Stoppers website. Anonymous tips leading to an arrest can be eligible for a reward up to $3,000.
