Newly released body-camera footage of three Orange County deputies fatally shooting a knife-wielding woman in the Dr. Phillips area has revived a hard question about how Florida law enforcement meets people in the grip of a mental health crisis.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office shot and killed 59-year-old Rosalia Hodges on 3 June 2026 after she left her home holding a large knife and moved towards deputies. Sheriff John Mina says his officers backed away and repeatedly ordered her to drop the blade before they opened fire.
