Florida law enforcement officials released new details Wednesday about the Easter Sunday shooting in Orlando that killed three people, including two children.
Suspect Lacorvis Tamar Daley was allegedly fighting with his girlfriend on the phone early Sunday morning when she was out with friends. Daley, who was her live-in boyfriend, reportedly told her that if she did not return home, he would injure her mother.
The girlfriend's mother Carole Fulmore then texted her frantically at 2:18 a.m.
"Help. He's shooting a gun. Call 911," Fulmore texted her daughter.
At 2:21 a.m., her daughter called police, FOX 35 Orlando reported.

The incident remains under investigation by Orlando police.
