Police in Florida have charged a second woman in connection with a deadly shooting captured on Facebook live.

Lakevia Pringle, 31, was taken into custody on Friday after turning herself in to Sanford police on a first-degree premeditated murder charge. 

She is accused of recording the Facebook livestream that ultimately showed the shooting death of 34-year-old Lauren Martin on Nov. 5.

Pringle’s girlfriend Savon Tyler, 35, who is accused of fighting and killing Martin, was arrested on Tuesday and charged with the same crime.

“While live streaming [sic], Pringle can be heard encouraging Tyler to continue the altercation, which led to the homicide of Lauren,” Sanford police said on Facebook. 

A redacted police report viewed by FOX 35 Orlando says a voice in the livestream can be heard telling Tyler to “Fire her a– up!”

A warrant was issued for Pringle’s arrest after the Seminole County State Attorney’s office reviewed the video and other evidence. Sanford police also said Pringle did not cooperate with “multiple attempts” to interview her.

Police determined that an ongoing argument caused Martin to drive to Tyler’s home.

When Tyler saw Martin at her house, she armed herself with a “children’s miniature baseball bat” and a “9mm sky [sic] handgun,” according to court records viewed by local outlet WESH.

The two women briefly argued in the middle of the street before a fight broke out and Martin was ultimately shot, the outlet reported.

Martin’s family said on a GoFundMe account that she leaves behind three children.

“Although we take comfort in knowing she is at peace, she leaves behind three beautiful children. We are mourning this tragic loss while also adjusting to a new normal for her children’s lives,” the fundraiser said.

Both Pringle and Tyler are in the Seminole County Jail with no bond.

Juliana Peres Magalhães, the nanny for a suburban Virginia family who pleaded guilty to manslaughter last month in a double homicide case, can be seen hyperventilating in new police body camera footage from the Fairfax County Police Department.

Magalhães, a Brazilian national, apparently fell in love with her employer, former IRS agent Brendan Banfield, and the pair have been accused of staging a complex plot to murder Banfield’s wife, Christine Banfield, the mother of his 4-year-old daughter, in February 2023.

A man named Joe Ryan was also killed as part of the alleged scheme after prosecutors say he was contacted on a sexual fetish website and lured to the Banfields’ home with the promise of sex.

“He started stabbing her,” Magalhães told police in the February 2023 video, referring to Ryan. “I think Brendan shot him, and he asked me [for] help shooting him. … I never saw him before.”

She was 22 when police initially arrested her in October 2023, about eight months after the killings, when authorities charged her with aggravated murder and use of a gun in commission of a felony.

At the time of her arrest, she had moved into the main bedroom of the Banfields’ Herndon home, with a photo of herself and Brendan together on a nightstand beside the bed, according to authorities.

Fairfax County Police arrested Banfield, a 39-year-old IRS employee, in September, more than a year after the murders. He is charged with four counts of aggravated murder and use of a gun in the commission of a felony.

Banfield faces a potential life prison sentence for the alleged crimes, while Magalhães faces a maximum sentence of 10 years for the manslaughter charge, according to FOX 5.

When police responded to a 911 call from the Banfield residence Feb. 24, 2023, they found Christine with stab wounds to the neck and Ryan with fatal gunshot wounds in the upstairs bedroom of the home. Authorities took Christine to the hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.

Officials recovered a knife and two guns from the house.

It remains unclear exactly what transpired inside the home that Friday morning, but Magalhães and Brendan apparently both admitted to shooting Ryan while the man was holding a knife to Christine.

Viviane Magalhães, Juliana’s stepmother, told The Associated Press she hopes her stepdaughter can return home to Brazil soon.

“We still can’t figure this out. I believe she was fooled by this guy. He brainwashed her,” Viviane Magalhães told the AP in Portuguese, referring to Banfield. “She was never a gold digger in Brazil. For many years, she dated a man who was as humble as she was. We could never think of her living a situation like this.”

Banfield is no longer employed by the IRS.
