A Florida woman was allegedly randomly shooting at passing vehicles earlier this month when she fatally struck a young mother, Orange County authorities said.
Angila Baxter, 56, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder over the Jan. 12 killing of 27-year-old Nekaybaw Collier.
The victim was found unresponsive in her vehicle at around 7 p.m. in the 5200 block of North Powers Drive. She later died at a hospital.
An autopsy revealed Collier died from gunshot wounds with bullets from Baxter's revolver found in her body.
Multiple witnesses from the scene reported being shot and cursed at by a woman in a red SUV parked in the middle of the road at the intersection of Belco Drive.
The woman, later identified as Baxter, was reportedly “shooting at cars and screaming expletives at random people in the area” and witnessed recognized her in a photo lineup.
Baxter told detectives that she was shooting at people following her. She was booked into the Orange County Jail on Thursday.
“We extend our deepest condolences to Nekaybaw's family for the senseless killing of this young mother, wife, and daughter,” the sheriff's office said.
