Police: Florida woman Jamie Martin play slaps man; man shoots her in head
Florida authorities say mother of two was fatally shot in the forehead after she slapped a man in the face at a party early Sunday moing
The Clay County Sheriff’s Office was called to 26 year-old Jamie Martin’s home in Middleburg around 12:30 a.m.
The arrest says Elliot Orsbo, a 26 year-old convicted felon, said something to Martin, who then “jokingly slapped” him across the face.
Orsbo immediately pulled out a silver .22 revolver, pointed it at Martin, and shot her in the forehead.
According to Martin’s boyfriend, Orsbo immediately said he did not mean to shoot her. He then stayed at the scene for a minute or two and then fled after trying to help her. He was later arrested at his home in Orange Park and charged with manslaughter.
Deputies arrived to find Martin in her home garage with a gunshot wound to her forehead. She was transported to Orange Park Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.
One witness says Orsbo kept flashing his gun and playing around with it throughout the night. The relationship between Martin and Orsbo is unknown.
Orsbo is a convicted felon. He was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon back in January 2011. An arrest report from that incident says Orsbo threatened someone twice with a knife after that person told him to stop throwing trash into a hotel parking lot.
He has also been charged three times for possession of marijuana. In 2010, he was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill.
Osbo’s first court appearance in Sunday moing.
