Jasmine McAfee, 24, of Apopka, Florida, was found dead from a gunshot wound on March 26, 2016. She was discovered in a car on the side of State Road 429 near Colonial Drive in the early morning; a 23-year-old man in the vehicle had been injured in the same shooting and a third occupant was unhurt. The Joint Homicide Investigative Team investigated.

Investigators say McAfee had been solicited to the home of 46-year-old Charles Aikens through a massage advertisement that often indicated prostitution. Aikens allegedly contacted her repeatedly and invited her to his Blackbird Drive residence. McAfee reportedly felt threatened, called two men for help, and those men tried to distract Aikens so she could leave. A confrontation followed and Aikens shot at them; McAfee and the two men fled but later were stopped on the road where McAfee died of her injuries.

Aikens was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, attempted murder, aggravated battery with a firearm, shooting into an occupied vehicle, and prostitution. He initially claimed a robbery attempt; his defense later raised Stand Your Ground. The case raises questions about what happened at the house and the sequence of events that led to the shooting. Did anyone who knew Jasmine or was in that neighborhood that night see her or the vehicle before they were found?
