On June 5, Winter Springs police officers responded to a 911 call from a home on Sheoah Blvd., reporting that a man was shot there.

According to police, Adams admitted that she walked out to the living room area and saw Tawfeek smoking on the porch, then walked towards him and shot him in the head.
