OCKLAWAHA, Fla. — A woman in Marion County is charged with second-degree murder after deputies said she killed a man by shooting him in the face after he said his name was “Mikey,” according to a police report.

According to an arrest report, Hill drove up to Hofacker and a woman walking on South Highway 314 in Ocklawaha.
Deputies said Hill asked Hofacker for his name. And when he replied “Mikey,” she shot him just above the right eye.
