She was taken to a local hospital, where she died, stated the Sheriff's Office in a news release.
Lee is the daughter of local pastor Stovelleo Stovall of God is Able Outreach.
Rev. Stovall says his daughter lived at the mobile home park because that was all she could afford and she wanted to be independent. He and his wife had expressed their concerns about that neighborhood to her before.
He has been interviewed several times in the past by Spectrum News 13 about his commitment to curb crime and get guns off the streets.
“I always speak out and now it’s my family, my wife hurting,” he told News 13.
As Stovall grapples with what happened, he’s urging whoever killed his daughter to come forward.
“I pray to God that you just turn yourself in,” he said. “Please, please, bring us some peace. Bring us some peace because there’s no way in the world a beautiful young lady like that should’ve been killed. And the way she was killed.”
Orlando City Commissioner Regina Hill is sending her condolences to Stovall’s family.
She says when she first heard about it, it reminded her how the pastor comforted her after she lost her daughter to violence several years ago.
“Immediately I thought about, you know, during my tragedy how he’s been there for me and a multitude of families during times such as this,” Hill said.
The commissioner is also encouraging anyone who might know information about the shooting to come forward.
Pastor Stovall says his family is planning a vigil that will be this Thursday, February 20, at 6 p.m. at his church, God is Able Outreach at 2389 West Church Street in Orlando.
No suspect description has been given out.
Anyone with information on this case is urged to call the CRIMELINE, anonymously, at 1-800-423-TIPS (8477).
