On April 14, 2023, 39-year-old Tanishia Starr and her 20-year-old daughter Tanga Owens were found shot in a car parked at the Lake Sherwood Apartments in Orlando, off Apopka-Vineland Road. Both women were taken to a hospital and later pronounced dead. Security footage shows a man, later identified as 20-year-old Radrick Deshay Francois, approach the vehicle, interact briefly with the occupants, then shoot them and leave holding a 2-year-old child.

An 8-month-old boy was found unharmed in the backseat. Deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, who were in the area for an unrelated investigation, located and apprehended Francois. Witnesses said the shooter wore a Sesame Street Count von Count hooded sweatshirt; that garment was recovered during a search of his apartment along with several rounds for a 9mm handgun. Francois has been charged with two counts of first-degree murder with a firearm and is being held without bond. The victims’ family describe Tanishia and Tanga as inseparable, devoted mothers; the two surviving children are now with relatives.
