Lauren Ashley Martin, a 34-year-old photographer from Sanford, Florida, was shot multiple times outside a home in the Greystone Townhomes area on November 5, 2024, and later died at a local hospital. The shooting followed a long-standing, escalating online feud between Martin and 35-year-old Savon Chantay Tyler. According to a livestream of the confrontation, Martin drove to Tyler’s residence that evening, a verbal fight turned physical, and both women used a miniature baseball bat before Tyler retrieved a 9 mm handgun and shot Martin twice, once in the arm and once in the abdomen.

Tyler was arrested and charged with first-degree premeditated murder; she claimed self-defense, a claim police found unsupported, and she is being held without bond with a not guilty plea entered. Lakevia Davonna Pringle, Tyler’s girlfriend, was charged as principal in first-degree premeditated homicide for livestreaming the incident and allegedly encouraging Tyler; Pringle surrendered to the Sanford Police Department on November 8 and was taken into custody. Martin’s family called her death a tragic loss and set up a GoFundMe to help with funeral costs and support for her three children.
