R&I NV — Police in Florida are investigating a shooting earlier this month that killed a pregnant library assistant, who witnesses said pulled a gun on a motorcyclist she purposely hit with her car.
Sara Nicole Morales, 35, of Orange City, was shot multiple times Nov. 20 in a confrontation outside her home. She was taken to Halifax Health Medical Center, where she died of her wounds.

Multiple witnesses, including Derr, followed Morales’ blue Kia to the next intersection, where they told her to stop because police were on the way.
“Verbal contact was made with Morales for her to pull over for the arrival of law enforcement,” the police statement said. “Morales refused and was able to make the left turn onto E. Wisconsin Avenue when traffic permitted.”
Derr and the other witnesses continued to follow Morales, stopping in the roadway in front of her home and calling 911 to have police respond to that area.
Morales, who by that time had also called 911, went into the house and reemerged with a gun in her hand. According to audio obtained by WFTV, Morales claimed the men were being aggressive and had threatened her.
She pointed her weapon at Derr and the other witnesses, authorities said.
“You’re three men. You followed me. Leave me alone,” Morales shouts as gunfire erupts in the background.
At least eight gunshots can be heard in the audio.
