Orange County has been shaken by a tragic domestic shooting that led to the death of Takeshia Renee Bryant, a 42-year-old mother, grandmother, and teacher. Reports have confirmed her identity as the victim of a fatal shooting that occurred yesterday afternoon in the 5200 block of West Livingston Street. According to ClickOrlando, the Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrested her husband, 41-year-old Lamar Antonio Bryant, the following morning, who is now facing a charge of first-degree murder in connection with her death.
Family members have been left devastated by the event, with Takeshia described as the "roots of the family," a sentiment echoed by her sister-in-law Brandy Benjamin, who said she "kept everyone together," this was a statement detailed by FOX 35 Orlando. Takeshia's mother, Stacey Eads, recounted the harrowing moment she heard three gunshots from outside the home, where two of her grandchildren were present at the time of the incident.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office has not disclosed a motive for the shooting, and it is unclear whether there were prior incidents of domestic violence between Lamar and Takeshia Bryant. The investigators have urged anyone with information about the deadly shooting to come forward and contact the authorities or Crimeline.
