A Florida woman caught in a love triangle with the son of a Florida state senator has been arrested for busting into his date unannounced and killing him, authorities said.

Lakoria Shamece Washington, 24, allegedly forced her way into an apartment earlier this month and fatally shot her ex-girlfriend’s date, Jason Campbell, the son of former state Sen. Daphne Campbell, NBC Miami reported.

When authorities responded to the scene, they found Jason’s body in the complex’s parking lot, with a trail of blood leading back to the apartment, the Miami Herald reported.

“Oh God I loss my baby son … with gun violence while he was sleeping,” his mother wrote on Facebook. “The killer do not have no heart.”

Police have not identified Jason’s date, who they say hid inside a laundry room when Washington showed up unannounced with a gun in the early hours of June 1, the Herald reported.

“She then heard a gunshot. She did not witness the shooting or anyone leaving the scene,” police wrote in the report, the paper reported.

Surveillance footage captured a woman, who was identified as Washington, enter the apartment complex shortly before the shooting, the outlet reported.
