Mother Of R&B Singer Sammie Charged With Second Degree Murder In Random Shooting Of Florida Mom Of Two
It’s reported that on Tuesday (January 17), officials with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office apprehended Baxter and charged her in the January 12 shooting death of a woman named Nekaybaw Collier.
Reports say Baxter allegedly shot a firearm at random cars and vehicles passing her across different parts of Orlando.
An arrest affidavit shows Baxter shot at or into at least three vehicles (across Orlando), one of them being a black 2015 Mercedes Benz, belonging to Collier — who was struck by a single bullet in her left abdomen.
Police found her in her wrecked car on North Powers Drive and rushed her to a hospital, where she later died.
According to Collier’s husband, Kevin Moore, she was on a grocery run, just a mile away from her home. He says, “My younger daughter thinks mommy is coming back from the store. It’s hard to explain that to a child.”

Police claim Baxter told them that she believed she was being followed by multiple people — and that was why she began firing off round after round at various cars and people passing her by.
It is also alleged that Baxter suffers from mental health issues. After being interviewed by detectives, Baxter did admit to firing her weapon, but claimed that she did not know Collier or the owners of the other cars she hit.
Police say they have a witness who not only identified Baxter, in a photo lineup, as the person “shooting at cars,” but the witness claims she was also “screaming expletives at random people in the area.”
The Orange County Sheriff’s Office has since issued a statement following the death of Collier. They said, “We extend our deepest condolences to Nekaybaw’s family for the senseless killing of this young mother, wife, and daughter.”

A GoFundMe account has since been set up for Collier, in her memory and to help cover the costs of her memorial and funeral expenses, and help support her two daughters and family.
At the time of publishing, the donation page for Collier has raised over $9,800 of its $50,000 goal.
The GFM page, created by Deshema McCoy, describes Collier as “a beautiful soul who would have given the shirt off of her back to care for the people that she loved. She was kind, caring, smart, talented, and beautiful.”
