According to detectives, Figg’s husband came to their apartment along the 200 block of Collins Avenue at approximately 9:40 p.m. with to find the victim dead.
Police said her throat had been cut. They ruled the cause of death a homicide.
According to the police report, witnesses recalled Figg’s husband running outside and shouting, “My wife is dead! Call the police! Aubrey is dead!”
Loved ones said the victim was a longtime Miami Beach resident and had been a waitress at a local TGI Friday’s restaurant for the past 15 years.
On Thursday, police and family members asked the public for their help in the investigation.
“We want you to see Aubrey’s photo. We want you to know that she’s lived in Miami Beach for close to 15 years,” said Miami Beach Police Officer Ernesto Rodriguez. “She worked here in Miami Beach.”
Those close to Figg described her as a loving, happy person.
“She was just such a gentle soul,” said Diane Fletcher, Figg’s aunt.
“I’ve honestly never seen her have an enemy in her whole life,” said Brittany Jordan, the victim’s cousin. “This just doesn’t make sense.”
“There’s been so much anguish with our families. We want answers,” said Elizabeth Jordan, another of Figg’s aunts. “This heartbreak was so blinding for me. I don’t know how I made it through this summer.”
Detectives have interviewed potential witnesses and people who knew Figg, but they have yet to make an arrest.
“What concerns me is that this person is still down there on the Beach, walking around freely, and my niece was murdered,” said Fletcher.
Officers are now asking anyone with information to come forward.
“Our detectives are confident that someone knows something, and we’re ecouraging you to come forward,” said Rodriguez.
“Like, I can’t imagine where she lived, someone just didn’t see something?” said Brittany.
“If we find out who did it, at least it will be one piece of the puzzle for us,” said Elizabeth. “The grief will continue, and the loss, but at least we will have an answer.”
