ORLANDO, Fla. (WFTV) - A Florida woman is facing manslaughter charges after police say her 10-year-old daughter shot and killed a neighbor with whom her mother got into a fight.

Friends and neighbors say 41-year-old Lashun “Bones” Rodgers was grilling out, celebrating Memorial Day at her apartment. They say 31-year-old Lakrisha Isaac was drunk and slapped Rodgers, who hit Isaac back.

Police say the two women began fighting, and Isaac handed a bag with a gun in it to her 10-year-old daughter. The girl allegedly pulled out the weapon and shot Rodgers twice, killing her.

Isaac is facing multiple charges, including manslaughter by culpable negligence and child neglect. She is in jail without bond.

Meanwhile, her daughter is in the care of the Department of Children and Families. The state attorney’s office is deciding whether to charge her.

Family and friends say Rodgers was known for giving neighborhood kids money and loved by her daughter and grandchild, who just had open heart surgery.

“Bones giving, loving. Bones will give you the shoes and the shirt off her back, literally. I’ve seen her do it,” said Rodgers’ best friend, Stacey Johnson. “And she kept you laughing. Her humor… Oh my God, her spirit was awesome.”


Those left with just Rodgers’ memory say the 10-year-old accused of shooting her needs help, and they want her locked up.

Oh hmm I read this before but didn’t know that the mom basically enabled her child to shoot the other woman , wow
There's a picture of the little girl holding the gun and it appears the mom is doing nothing to stop her but it's a still picture so hard to tell.
But makes sense if it's true she stabbed her cousin to death and didn't face charges maybe mom figured she'd get away again. That's sad though already a double murderer at 10. Only way she knows how to resolve conflict is to kill. So far she's removed from her home but not charged.

She is being charged. Her life is over.

Whats definitely appropriate is the mother being held accountable with respect to negligence with the gun. It really does need to become a thing. Kids who have their parents' gun should be what the Dems are hanging their hats on.

Unless the purpose of the charges are to get her into the System so that she can get needed help (mental & otherwise), I am appalled at the idea of how she will fare in the System. If I'm not mistaken, Lil'Bee, an Atlanta 13-14 sentenced as am Adult ; has been "ran through" so much that he's permanently injured....if you know what I mean.

As for the mother, I have neither words of encouragement nor hope. But I do hope there are no other children in her care.

She will not get the help she needs in the system that’s for sure, but she does need consequences for her actions, especially if this is the second time.

This IMHO is a big part of our Nations problem; and why the name "Defund The Police" was so controversial. We need to Fund Mental Health Care; a promise that Prez Reagan never fulfilled. I saw the speculation about this being her 2nd offense and couldn't help but wonder what MH if any she got after or since the alleged 1st offense; my bet is none because her momma couldn't afford it. .....and here we are.

There are so many MH providers in FL that don't charge families directly for services. One major problem is that many amazing MH providers leave the field because it pays pennies and those that do work for nonprofit agencies are fairly new to the field. I can only speak for FL but several masters level clinicians who work for nonprofit agencies make $32-34,000.

This girls needs help from an expert and unfortunately one will be hard to find if her family can't afford it.
