Alma Menton, 28, of Eustis, Florida, was found dead on January 18, 2015 in an SUV near County Road 44 and Bates Avenue. Her death was caused by a gunshot; she was shot in the back while driving the vehicle. Nearby residents reportedly did not hear the gunshot, which contributed to initial uncertainty about what had happened.

Lake County investigators charged Alma’s 22-year-old cousin, Anthony Johnson, with manslaughter. Authorities say Johnson was handling a gun inside the car when it accidentally discharged, striking Alma; investigators determined there was no intent to harm but that reckless handling caused her death. Marcus Johnson was arrested on charges of dealing in stolen property and tampering with evidence after the firearm was reported stolen, and a warrant was issued for Damon Evans, accused of obtaining the gun by breaking into a car.

Were there witnesses who saw the vehicle before it was found, or anyone with information about how the stolen gun moved between people involved?
