A Florida woman was arrested Tuesday for allegedly shooting another woman in a video broadcast live on social media, according to police.
Savon Tyler, 35, is charged with first-degree premeditated murder and is in the Seminole County Jail without bond, according to jail records.
The Sanford Police Department said Tyler was charged with the murder of Lauren Martin, 34, after an argument escalated into a physical altercation at Greystone Townhomes Tuesday evening.

Sanford police said officers responded to a shooting on Travertine Terrace Tuesday shortly after 7 p.m. to find a woman, later identified as Martin, in the roadway with multiple gunshot wounds.
She was taken to hospital where she died from her injuries.
Police determined that an ongoing argument caused Martin to go to Tyler’s home.
When Tyler saw Martin at her home, she armed herself with a “children’s miniature baseball bat” and a “9mm sky gun,” according to court records viewed by local news outlet WESH.

“Today, a family mourns the loss of a loved one, because someone chose to resolve a disagreement with violence. We will not remember what started the argument between these two, but the loss of Lauren will forever be remembered by her family and friends,” said Sanford Chief Cecil Smith.
Smith asked people to remember that “there are choices other than violence.”
