ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando police say they’ve arrested the 10-year-old girl accused of shooting and killing a woman who was disputing with her mother on Memorial Day.
The child is in custody at the Orange County Juvenile Justice Center and facing charges of second-degree murder.
Just before midnight last Tuesday, officers said they went to a home on Mercy Drive for a shooting call.
Investigators said a fight between two women, 41-year-old Lashun Rodgers and 31-year-old Lakrisha Isaac, led to the shooting and killing of Rodgers.
Police said Isaac, the mother, handed her a bag with the gun in it just before the girl pulled the gun out and fired.
