Takeshia Renee Eads, 42, of Orlando was shot and killed on March 25, 2025, in the 5200 block of West Livingston Street in Orlo Vista. Orange County Sheriff’s deputies responded to reports of gunfire about 3:45 p.m.; Eads was found with a gunshot wound, taken to a nearby hospital and later pronounced dead. Authorities described the incident as domestic-related and identified her husband, 41-year-old Lamar Antonio Bryant, as the suspect. Investigators say Eads had recently filed for divorce from Bryant.

According to reports, Bryant picked up one of their daughters earlier that day, stopped at a liquor store and a storage unit, and the daughter later told police he had retrieved firearms from the storage unit and placed them in the car’s center console. After returning home, Eads was outside; she and Bryant went into the residence and gunshots followed. Bryant fled but was apprehended the next morning and charged with first-degree murder. Family and friends remember Eads as a devoted mother of four, grandmother of five, active in her church and generous; her eldest daughter, Cordeja Paige, urged victims of domestic violence to seek help.

Does anyone have information about the events that day or knew Takeshia and can share details that might help the investigation?
