43 YEARS OLD ·
Orlando,
Florida
Nanchin “Sarah” Adeyemo was a mother of five, hairstylist, and community-minded woman remembered by her daughter as someone with a beautiful heart who was always helping others. Known professionally for braiding hair, Sarah built strong relationships through her work and was described as a caring mother and friend. Her commitment to helping others extended to Nigeria, where she operated a foundation supporting widows and helping provide food and school supplies for children. Her daughters have worked to continue that mission after her death.
Nanchin, who went by “Sarah,” was the mother of five children. She was well known for her work as a hair braider in the Daytona area, where she developed a strong community through her work. Her daughter Sonia Davis remembered Sarah as someone who was consistently there for other people. Sarah also ran a charitable foundation in Nigeria serving widows and helping purchase food and school supplies for children. Following her death, her daughters sought to continue the foundation in her memory. A community fundraiser described Sarah as a caring mother and friend and was established to help her surviving children with funeral expenses, education, housing, food, and utilities.

These indicators reflect what could be established from available sources. Absence from this list does not establish that a behavior did not occur.
LEGAL / SYSTEM RESPONSE
Hassan Teddy Adeyemo was charged with first-degree murder in connection with Sarah’s August 2023 shooting death. The prosecution remained active through 2026 in Florida’s Ninth Judicial Circuit.
Court records reviewed by FOX 35 showed that Adeyemo was presented with a plea agreement in January 2026 but rejected it. A subsequent agreement contemplated a 30-year prison sentence and was supported by the prosecution, defense, and Sarah’s family, who sought to avoid the emotional impact of a trial. Circuit Judge Eric Netcher rejected that plea agreement in July 2026

INFORMATION LIMITATIONS
Fields marked UNKNOWN were not established by the available coded record and do not mean the behavior did not occur.
TRANSPARENCY / RECORD NOTE
The prosecution of Hassan Teddy Adeyemo remains unresolved. Although a negotiated 30-year plea agreement was presented to the court and supported by Sarah’s family, the judge rejected the agreement. It therefore should not be recorded as a guilty plea, conviction, or 30-year sentence. As of the latest source reviewed, Adeyemo remains accused of first-degree murder and the allegations have not been adjudicated at trial.
