Angelica "Angie" Le, a 29-year-old resident of Crestview, Florida, tragically lost her life on September 19, 2021. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning in the parking lot of the Bel Aire Terrace apartments. According to reports, the fatal event stemmed from a domestic dispute between Le and her partner, Amos Washington. The argument escalated to a physical altercation, during which Washington allegedly choked Le and subsequently shot her in the neck.
The shooting took place in front of their two children, who were unharmed during the incident.
Following the shooting, Washington fled the scene with the two children and later turned up at a Waffle House in Milton, Florida. There, he confessed to an employee that he had shot Le and asked her to call the police. Washington was arrested by the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office shortly after his confession. The children were safely recovered and returned to their family.
Washington was charged with first-degree murder, shooting a deadly weapon into a vehicle, violation of an injunction order, and two counts of aggravated child abuse. The investigation revealed that a domestic violence protection order had been issued earlier in the year, prohibiting Washington from possessing a firearm or coming within 100 feet of Le's car. Despite this order, the tragic events unfolded, leading to Le's untimely death.
The case garnered significant attention due to the nature of the crime and the involvement of domestic violence. Friends and family of Le remembered her as a loving mother and a kind-hearted individual. The community mourned her loss and rallied around her children, offering support and assistance during this difficult time. The legal proceedings against Washington continued, with the charges reflecting the severity of the crime and the impact on the victims involved.
