Lashun Denise Rodgers, 41, was killed on May 30, 2022, in Orlando during a Memorial Day cookout at her apartment complex. According to witnesses and an arrest affidavit, a confrontation began when Lakrisha Isaac, the mother of a 10-year-old girl, confronted Rodgers over a past dispute; Isaac reportedly threw the first punch and Rodgers struck back. Isaac then handed a backpack containing a firearm to her daughter. The girl retrieved the gun and fired one or two shots that fatally wounded Rodgers. Rodgers was taken to a hospital, where she died.

Isaac was arrested and charged with manslaughter by culpable negligence, aggravated assault with a firearm, negligent storage of a firearm, and child neglect, and remained in jail after her arrest. The 10-year-old was taken into custody by the Florida Department of Children and Families and was held in juvenile detention while the State Attorney’s Office reviewed whether to file charges. Isaac later entered a plea and was sentenced in June 2024; Rodgers family members said they were dissatisfied with the outcome.

Anyone who was at the cookout or who has information about the events that night is asked to come forward.
