Caregiver sentenced to 60 years for Ponce Inlet shooting death of 89-year-old

Micayla Yusko pleaded no contest

VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. – A caregiver arrested in 2022 in the shooting death of an 89-year-old woman in a Ponce Inlet condo was sentenced to 60 years in prison Thursday.

Micayla Yusko pleaded no contest last week in the death of Margaret D. Hindsley, who was shot multiple times in January 2022. Yusko and her husband, Tyden Paul Guinn, were both arrested after Guinn’s father turned them in.

“They just came home and told me they just did this,” the father said in the 911 call. “I woke up, they just came in and told me they just shot somebody.”

“I had a feeling that they were gonna shoot somebody, that they were gonna kill somebody,” he said in the 911 call. “I thought (Guinn) was gonna come home and kill me.”

According to him, the couple had been married about two years at the time and Yusco, who he said has a history of mental health problems, had put the younger Guinn “in a spell.”

Guinn and Yusco visited Hindsley twice per day as her caregiver, according to police.
