OCKLAWAHA, Fla. — A woman from Silver Springs has been charged with murder after she shot and killed a man on Saturday, according to deputies.
The victim, Michael Hofacker, 39, was walking with a woman in the 3200 block of S Highway 314A when a vehicle pulled up alongside them, deputies say. Hofacker walked up to the car to see why they stopped.
Jennifer Hill, 41, who was inside the vehicle, asked Hofacker his name, deputies say. Hofacker responded, "Mikey."
Hill then took out a pistol and shot the man in the face, according to deputies. He was rushed to the hospital where he later died.
Deputies from Marion County Sheriff’s Office arrived to the scene where eye witnesses said they had seen Hill shoot the victim.
Hill admitted to the shooting; however, she says she thought the victim was a man named Michael Beach, who she accused of breaking into her home and threatening her.
Hill was arrested and charged with second-degree murder without premeditation. She is being held at the Marion County Jail without bond.
