Sanford police said officers responded to a shooting on Travertine Terrace just after 7 p.m. Tuesday and found a woman, later identified as Martin, in the roadway with multiple gunshot wounds.

She was taken to a hospital where she died from her injuries.

Police determined that Martin drove to Tyler’s home due to an ongoing argument.

When Tyler saw Martin at her home, she armed herself with a “miniature kid’s baseball bat” and a “9mm air pistol,” according to court documents seen by local WESH.

“Today a family mourns the loss of a loved one because someone chose to resolve a disagreement with violence. What started the feud between these two will not be remembered, but the loss of Lauren will remain with her family and friends forever. said Sanford Chief Cecil Smith.

Smith asked people to remember that “there are choices other than violence.”
