Orange County Sheriff's Office deputies said Toffara Snow, 37, has been charged with first-degree murder with a firearm and attempted first-degree murder with a firearm. According to deputies, Snow shot Carson, 37, and her 3-year-old daughter on June 6 in an apartment complex at the 8700 block of Wellesley Lake Drive. Carson was pronounced dead at the scene. The child was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.

Snow and Carson were husband and wife, but he is not the father of the 3-year-old girl.
