Fonda Gandy, a 41-year-old woman from Ocoee, Florida, was fatally shot in her apartment on January 31, 2021, after an argument with a 16-year-old boy who was staying there. The teen, identified as Michael Lecorn, had been living with Gandy and her family after a dispute with his own relatives and was in a relationship with Gandy’s niece. The argument escalated and Lecorn shot Gandy multiple times; another woman in the apartment escaped and called for help.

The Orange County Sheriff’s Office found Gandy with multiple gunshot wounds; she was taken to a hospital and later died. Investigators recovered 14 spent casings and one live round at the scene. Lecorn was apprehended shortly afterward and charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder. Gandy’s family described her as a generous community-minded woman and said her death was a devastating loss.

Does anyone have information about Gandy’s life in Ocoee or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
