FRUITLAND PARK, Florida—A woman is being held in the Lake County Jail on a charge of second-degree murder after killing a male relative, due to a “longstanding grudge,” according to the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.
Jesse James McParlin, 39, was walking down Pine Street in unincorporated Fruitland Park around 10:20 a.m. Saturday, when the woman saw him, according to LCSO Lt. John Herrell.
She began yelling at him and chased him down the street and shot him with a handgun, witnesses told LCSO. Detectives later learned there was a longstanding grudge between the two, Herrell said.
McParlin went to his home on Pine Street to get help and an unidentified male attempted to take him to the hospital, but he died near Calvary Baptist Church on Eagles Nest Road.
The shooter turned herself in to LCJ Saturday night and is being held on no bond. Her name is not being released because she may be the victim of a sex crime.
The is the sixth homicide in Lake County since Aug. 25.
