Woman, 72, Gets Life In Prison For Shooting Neighbor Six Times
November 11, 2022
A 72-year old Escambia County woman has been sentenced to life in prison for attempted second degree murder.
Yagaunda Grace Buschbaum shot her neighbor six times at Myrtle Grove Villas on Lillian Highway. He survived critical injuries.
Three days before the shooting, Buschbaum made a false complaint of burglary against the victim, resulting in a warrant for his arrest. On the night of the shooting, she called law enforcement to come serve the warrant. Before law enforcement arrived, Buschbaum lured the victim closer to the back door of her apartment under the pretense of giving him a gift, then shot him six times and claimed he was trying to break into her apartment.
“Buschbaum had developed romantic feelings for him and he believes wanted a relationship with him, but he had zero interest,” according to an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office arrest report. She allegedly tried to kiss him, but he was forced to physically stop her.
In Florida, a Life sentence is a term of imprisonment for the rest of one’s natural life. Because Buschbaum was charged under Florida’s 10-20-Life law, the first 25 yearof Buschbaum’s sentence will also be served as a mandatory minimum term sentence.

You’d think after the first 2 or 3 times she shot him, he might’ve said to himself “maybe I’ll stop hanging around her”.
It’s just possible that this woman isn’t insane or even has some other mental issues, perhaps she’s just mean! Being mean isn’t a mental problem it is a choice.
A lot of victims in these situations dont get the justice they deserve, im glad this gentlemen did.
Gangsta Granny
Bad on several fronts.
I just wonder if she has a drinking problem.No excuse for what she did however.
This is both a sad and terrifying situation. It shows that age doesn’t matter when it comes to our Country’s laws and rightly so. The only thing I’m concerned with is if prison is what she needs. Her actions borderline on pure insanity.
Kinda strange that she was not found to have dementia, or just plain crazy! Sounds like she DEFINITELY has severe mental issues!!
