A 20-year-old man is accused of killing the mother of his child and her mother while they were in a vehicle with their 2-year-old girl and 8-month-old boy during a custody exchange at an Orlando apartment complex.
Radrick Deshay Francois was arrested on charges of first degree murder with a firearm in the shooting deaths of 20-year-old Tanga Lynn Owens and 39-year-old Tanishia Rochelle Starr, according to an affidavit filed by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Police were called to the Lake Sherwood Apartments on Friday, April 14, just before noon after receiving calls regarding a shooting.
During an interview with Francois, he admitted to killing the women, but claimed it was in self defense. Francois described Owens as “disrespectful” and “promiscuous,” and said she called him a “bitch” just before he shot her. According to Francois, he wrestled the gun that he used for the shootings away from Owens and was “attempting to return it to her,” when a scuffle ensued and he shot her.
Authorities say video of the incident does not corroborate his statement.
