In a shocking turn of events, two women have been arrested for their roles in the murder of photographer Lauren Ashley Martin, a crime that was partially broadcasted live on social media. Lakevia Davonna Pringle, 31, and Savon Chantay Tyler, 35, were taken into custody on Friday by police in Sanford, Florida.

Lauren Ashley Martin tragically lost her life on Tuesday night outside a residence in Sanford following a heated dispute. Tyler was reported to have an ongoing feud with Martin, which culminated in a violent confrontation that was livestreamed by Pringle, Tyler’s girlfriend.

According to an amended arrest report, Martin allegedly engaged her social media followers by livestreaming her drive to Tyler's home with the intention of confronting her. Watching the livestream, Tyler armed herself with both a baseball bat and a firearm, although she initially set the gun aside upon Martin’s arrival.

During the altercation, Tyler wielded the bat against Martin, who then managed to take it away. Approaching Tyler with the bat in hand, Martin was shot twice by Tyler, according to the police report. Martin was found with multiple gunshot wounds and later succumbed to her injuries at a nearby hospital.

Sanford Police Chief Cecil Smith emphasized the tragic nature of the incident, noting that Martin’s family is now left to mourn her loss. He condemned the use of violence to resolve disputes, stressing that the argument leading to the tragedy would be forgotten, while Martin’s death would leave a lasting impact on her loved ones.

Pringle's involvement was significant, as she allegedly captured the confrontation on social media, during which Tyler can be seen swinging the bat at Martin. Even as the video footage became hard to see, the audio continued, and Pringle could be heard encouraging Tyler to escalate the violence.

Tyler has been charged with first-degree premeditated homicide, to which she pleaded not guilty. Pringle, turning herself in on Friday, faces charges as a principal to first-degree premeditated homicide. While Tyler’s attorney has yet to comment, it remains unclear if Pringle has secured legal representation or entered a plea.
