A terrible fight turned deadly in Sanford, Florida, on November 5 when photographer Lauren Ashley Martin was shot and killed after a fight over pictures.
The fight got worse outside of a house and ended with Martin’s death, which was horrifyingly shown live on social media.
Savon Chantay Tyler, 35, was caught and charged with murder after it was said that he shot Martin during the fight. The event was caught on Facebook Live by Tyler’s girlfriend, Lakevia Davonna Pringle. According to the Sanford Police Department, Pringle supported Tyler during the violent altercation.
Police said Martin and Tyler had been fighting over pictures Martin had taken, and the fight had been going on online for a while before it the streets.
When Martin went to Tyler’s house, the fight got worse right away, and things got worse quickly. In the frightening livestream video, Pringle can be heard telling Tyler to keep fighting.
As the argument went on, Tyler reportedly pulled out a gun and shot Martin when the victim briefly got the baseball bat, according to the police.
Martin’s family said she was a loving mother of three children who they playfully called “Bubbles.” The sudden death of their loved one has been very hard for them. They have called it a “tragic loss.”
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help her kids and pay for the funeral.
Tyler is still in jail without bond because he pleaded not guilty to charges of planned murder. Pringle, on the other hand, is still on the run after being charged with first-degree premeditated murder for her part in the livestream.
A warrant has been issued for her arrest, and the police are asking anyone who knows where she is to come forward.
