### Second Woman Charged in Fatal Facebook Live Shooting in Florida

Authorities in Florida have detained a second woman in relation to a fatal shooting that was live-streamed on Facebook. Lakevia Pringle, 31, surrendered to Sanford police on Friday and faces a first-degree premeditated murder charge. Pringle is accused of filming the Facebook livestream that captured the death of 34-year-old Lauren Martin on November 5.

Pringle’s partner, 35-year-old Savon Tyler, was arrested earlier that week and also charged with first-degree premeditated murder. According to Sanford police, Pringle is heard on the livestream encouraging Tyler to continue the altercation, which ultimately led to Martin's death. The police report, as viewed by FOX 35 Orlando, includes an audio segment where a voice urges Tyler to "Fire her a-- up!"

The Seminole County State Attorney's office reviewed the video and additional evidence, which resulted in a warrant for Pringle's arrest. Despite numerous attempts by law enforcement to interview Pringle, she allegedly did not cooperate.

The tragic event was apparently the culmination of an ongoing argument that led Martin to drive to Tyler's home. Upon seeing Martin, Tyler armed herself with a children's miniature baseball bat and a 9mm handgun, as per court records obtained by WESH. The confrontation escalated into a physical altercation in the street, ending with Martin being shot.

Lauren Martin leaves behind three children. Her family expressed their grief and sense of loss on a GoFundMe page, stating, "Although we take comfort in knowing she is at peace, she leaves behind three beautiful children. We are mourning this tragic loss while also adjusting to a new normal for her children's lives."

Both Pringle and Tyler are currently held in the Seminole County Jail without bond.
