Seminole County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kristen Bentsen says in a statement that the shooting took place Saturday night at the Cool Breeze Bar.

Bentsen says 36-year-old Oceannette Hampton was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators believe that a fight broke out which led up to the shooting.
