On the night of May 30, a 10-year-old girl shot at another woman who was arguing with her mother in Orlando, Florida.
Witnesses explained that this tragic incident began when the child’s mother and the victim, Lashun Denise Rogers, started arguing near an apartment complex. The altercation turned physical when the mother of the child initiated the first punch to the victim and the victim followed with another punch to the mother.
The 10 year old child was a witness to the whole altercation and was then seen holding a black firearm after the mother handed the child her purse, which contained the firearm. The 10 year old daughter then fired “one- two shots” and proceeded to yell, “she shouldn’t have hit my momma.”
After the victim was taken to a Medical Center, she later passed away.
Both the child and mother are now in custody. State Attorney for Orange and Osceola Counties, Monique H. Worrell made it clear that they will, “consider all the facts, including the age of the child, and all of the surrounding circumstances, when making a charging decision.”
