A Florida woman shot a guy in the head with his revolver after he became furious because their 8-year-old son wet his pants. Laurie Adams, 38, was charged on Tuesday with one count of first-degree premeditated murder with a firearm in the shooting death of Adel Tawfeek, 51, according to the Seminole County State Attorney’s Office.
The bloodshed occurred on June 5, according to an affidavit in the case. Police responded to a shooting complaint at an apartment in the 400 block of Sheoah Boulevard in Winter Springs, north of Orlando. While en route, officers received notification via communications that the caller had stated that she had shot someone in the head.
When authorities entered the home, they discovered Tawfeck seated on the back porch with an apparent gunshot wound to the head. He died in the hospital.
Adams reportedly waived her Miranda rights and told police what transpired.
She stated that it all began when Tawfeek grew agitated when he realized their 8-year-old son, who has autism, “had pooped his pants.”
He started yelling at the youngster and his mother, she informed police, according to the affidavit.
According to the arrest report, after cleaning up their son, she put him to bed. According to the statement, Tawfeek then began yelling at her and pushing her against the wall. The affidavit stated that he then took a beer and sat on the back porch.
According to the arrest report, Adams spent about 15 minutes to cool himself before going to Tawfeek’s bedroom closet, grabbing his gun, and loading it.
“She walked out to the living room and observed Adel Tawfeek smoking on the porch,” according to the recording. “Laurie then walked out towards the porch, where she pulled the trigger, shooting Adel Tawfeek in the head.”
According to the affidavit, Adams also told investigators she texted her mother days before the incident and asked her to be responsible for her kid “if anything were to happen.”
Adams was being held without bond at the Seminole County Jail. Her court appearance is scheduled for July 23, according to online booking records.
