LAKE CITY, Fla. — A north Florida woman is accused of killing a man and stuffing his body into a bag.
Lake City police say they received a 911 call on Saturday night regarding a shooting. The Gainesville Sun reports that police called the number back and a woman answered, saying "send police."
Lavell Gorge was standing in the yard when officers arrived. She told them "I shot him."
Police say officers found a large amount of blood on the bathroom floor along with what appeared to be a bloody Christmas tree bag. Inside was the body of 29-year-old Maurice Mickler inside the bag. Police say he appeared to have multiple gunshot wounds.
Gorge has been charged with homicide. It was not known whether she has a lawyer.
