According to the Orlando police, Clayton was shot and killed when she found Loyd in the parking lot of a Walmart at the corner of Princeton Street and John Young Parkway. Loyd then carjacked a vehicle, and was seen by a captain from the Orange County Sheriff's Office. The captain was shot as he got behind the vehicle Loyd was driving.

OPD posted on Twitter a video of Clayton's casket leaving the hospital.
