A Florida woman was indicted on Tuesday on a charge of first-degree murder for allegedly shooting the father of her child last month over his reaction to a dirty diaper.
A Seminole County grand jury indicted 38-year-old Laurie Adams of Winter Springs on one count of first-degree premeditated murder with a firearm in connection with the shooting death of 51-year-old Adel Tawfeek after hearing testimony from a Winter Springs Police investigator.
On June 5, Winter Springs Police Department officers responded to a report of a man shot at a home on Sheoah Boulevard. There, officers found Tawfeek unconscious with a single gunshot wound to the head. Tawfeek was transported to the hospital, where he later died.
According to police, Adams admitted shooting Tawfeek over an argument about the care of their son. Investigators say that Tawfeek returned home at around 11:30 p.m. on June 4 and found that their son had soiled himself. Adams allegedly told police that after she cleaned the child and put him to bed, Tawfeek yelled at her and assaulted her.
Adams allegedly admitted that after taking time to calm down, she retrieved a gun from Tawfeek’s closet and loaded it. She allegedly saw Tawfeek smoking on the porch, walked over, and shot him in the head.
Adams has been held since her arrest at Seminole County Jail with no bond. A trial date has not yet been set.
