Savon Tyler lands in trouble after initiating a tragic murder captured on a Facebook livestream. The 35-year-old was immediately arrested after the incident and has since been denied bail.

As the sun set on Tuesday, the Sanford police reported to Travertine Terrace only to find a wounded woman. It was later confirmed that the victim was Lauren Martin, a 34-year-old photographer. She had visited Savon Tyler at Greystone Townhomes earlier that day and they allegedly had a disagreement over pictures.

Before the fight began, Savon Tyler armed herself with a baseball bat and a 9mm sky handgun, ready for her opponent. The pair reportedly argued and fought in the middle of the street. However, soon enough, the accused used her handgun against Martin, causing multiple gunshot wounds.

Apart from the gruesome murder, investigators say that Tyler ended Martin’s life on a Facebook livestream. Police claimed that they possessed the footage but are yet to reveal who recorded it. Following the killing, the 35-year-old was arrested and taken to Seminole County Jail. She was arrested without putting up a barrier. Additionally, authorities maintained that there’s no other suspect yet to be detained regarding the case.

So far, the suspect has been denied bail. She is being charged with premeditated first-degree murder. Savon Tyler’s Facebook livestream murder has left a family in pain. Sanford police chief Cecil Smith emphasized that the murder could have been prevented. According to the chief, whatever caused the argument may not be remembered. But sadly, Martin’s demise will remain with her loved ones. The police chief maintained that violence is never the best option.
