More Details On The Fatal Shooting Of Lauren Ashley Martin
According to Sanford Police, on November 5, around 7:00 p.m., officers responded to reports of a shooting in the residential area of the Greystone Townhomes. Once there, cops reportedly discovered Martin “laying in the roadway, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.”
At that point, Martin was transported to a local hospital. However, “she later died as a result of her injuries.”
Furthermore, authorities say Martin drove to Tyler’s residence over “an ongoing argument.” Once there, their disagreement started verbally. However, it turned physical. Per WESH, Martin was a photographer who had taken pictures of Tyler, which Tyler appeared unhappy with.
“Someone went online and made a comment… then another person went online and made a comment just back and forth and spiraled out of control from there,” Martin’s aunt, Jessica Burks, reportedly told the outlet.
According to the outlet, the pair engaged in a “mutual-combat style fist fight” before Tyler shot Martin multiple times.
Furthermore, Sanford Police noted that they are in possession of the livestream footage of the fatal altercation. As of November 7, the police did not publicly note if a third party was responsible for recording the altercation. However, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that the incident was streamed by Martin and Tyler’s girlfriend. Fox 35 Orlando adds that the stream was broadcast via Facebook.
