Fifth Judicial Circuit State Attorney Bill Gladson stated, “The defendant’s crime was a brutal attempt on an innocent woman’s life, a clear disregard for the sanctity of human life, and today’s sentence reflects the seriousness of that crime.”
The incident occurred in March 2023 when Mount Dora Police responded to a shooting on Pine Avenue. Officers found a woman in a 2010 Nissan with at least two gunshot wounds and bullet holes in the driver’s side window. The victim identified Ganga as the shooter before being transported to the hospital.

Assistant State Attorneys Gabriel Lozano and Eddie Moffitt successfully prosecuted the case.
