A prosecutor has gone to the Florida Supreme Court in a high-profile murder case stemming from the fatal shooting of an Orlando police officer, arguing that evidence against the defendant is being improperly excluded.

The issue centers of whether evidence about defendant Markeith Loyd murdering another woman should be allowed into his upcoming trial in the shooting death of Orlando Police Lt. Debra Clayton. Clayton was shot in January 2017 after Loyd was spotted in a Walmart store while facing an arrest warrant in the murder of Sade Dixon, who had been pregnant with his child.
