A Florida woman has been sentenced to prison following her conviction for manslaughter in the fatal shooting of her former boyfriend, whom she alleged had been abusive towards her.

Jasmoray Baugh, 31, received a 20-year prison sentence on Wednesday after being found guilty last month in the death of Korey Woulard, as per court documents.

During a trial that spanned a week, jurors decided against convicting Baugh of second-degree murder, opting instead for the lesser charge of manslaughter, according to a statement from the 7th Judicial District State Attorney’s Office.

As previously covered by Law&Crime, the incident occurred around 2 a.m. on December 11, 2022, in DeLand, a city approximately 40 miles north of Orlando. According to an arrest affidavit, Baugh shot Woulard after he vandalized her vehicle—a behavior he had exhibited before—and subsequently sent him a menacing text message.

Prosecutors revealed that Baugh texted Woulard, saying, “I told the police you robbed me and shot at me,” followed by a threat indicating, “[B]— you going under the ground.”

After Woulard damaged her car by removing two side-view mirrors, he started to leave Baugh’s residence. Baugh then pursued him in her vehicle and fired a single shot into his chest, resulting in his death.

Baugh testified on her own behalf at trial, claiming that she killed him in self-defense, according to a courtroom report from the Daytona Beach News-Journal. She said she was driving by him when he threw a bicycle at her windshield, causing her to crash into a pole. She told the jury Woulard ran up to the car with a gun, which set off a fight for survival.

“We … tussling, it’s like a tug-of-war,” she reportedly testified. “I’m fighting him not to shoot me. And that’s when the gun go off.”

She said she then threw the gun into some nearby bushes.

But the state rejected that claim, saying she hunted her former boyfriend down because she was mad he vandalized her car again.

“The law doesn’t give anyone the right to be the judge, jury and executioner,” assistant state attorney Nick Kramperth said, per the News-Journal.

Jurors deliberated about six hours before deciding the verdict.

“The defendant killed the victim for vandalizing her car,” State Attorney R.J. Larizza said. “A sad testament to the human condition.”
