Linda Lake, 45, was fatally shot on August 1, 2015, on Rubens Court in Pine Hills, Florida, a neighborhood near North Hiawassee and Clarcona Ocoee roads. The shooting happened in the early afternoon; witnesses said she was shot in front of her two children, who were not injured. The suspect, identified as 33-year-old Travis Bivins, fled in a vehicle that was later found with a bullet hole in the window. Deputies tracked his cell phone and arrested him later that evening.

Friends and neighbors described a tumultuous relationship between Lake and Bivins, saying she had been threatened and had moved out of her home in the neighborhood to get away from him. Following his arrest, Bivins was charged with first-degree murder and was scheduled to appear in court shortly after. The community mourned Lake and questioned how repeated threats escalated to deadly violence.
