Second Florida woman arrested in connection with fatal Facebook Live shooting

Florida State Police have charged a second woman in connection with a fatal shooting caught on Facebook Live.

Lakevia Pringle, 31, was arrested Friday after turning herself in to Sanford police on a charge of first-degree murder.

She is accused of recording the Facebook live stream that eventually showed the shooting death of 34-year-old Lauren Martin on Nov. 5.

Pringle’s girlfriend, Savon Tyler, 35, who is accused of fighting and killing Martin, was arrested Tuesday and charged with the same crime.

“During the live stream (sic), Pringle can be heard encouraging Tyler to continue the altercation, which led to Lauren’s murder,” Sanford police said on Facebook.

A redacted police report viewed by FOX 35 Orlando says a voice on the live stream telling Tyler to “Get her out!”

A warrant for Pringle’s arrest was issued after the Seminole County District Attorney’s Office reviewed the video and other evidence. Sanford police also said Pringle was uncooperative with “multiple attempts” to interview her.

Police determined that an ongoing argument led Martin to drive to Tyler’s home.

When Tyler saw Martin at home, he armed himself with a “miniature baseball bat for kids” and a “sky (sic) 9mm pistol,” according to court records viewed by local station WESH.

The two women argued briefly in the middle of the street before an argument broke out and Martin was eventually shot, the outlet reported.

Martin’s family said on a GoFundMe account that she leaves behind three children.

“While we take comfort in knowing she is at peace, she leaves behind three beautiful children. We mourn this tragic loss as we adjust to a new normal for her children’s lives,” the fundraiser said.
