A woman has been arrested on charges of assisting her son in orchestrating a fatal shooting at a Home Depot in Pensacola, north Florida, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office reported.
The incident occurred last Friday afternoon at the Home Depot located at 5309 N. Davis Highway. One woman was pronounced dead at the location. The primary suspect, Keith Agee, 20, was detained and is facing charges of aggravated battery and homicide. His mother, Sheila Agee, has been apprehended in Alabama on charges of first-degree murder and is set to be extradited to Escambia County.
Evidence indicates that the act was not random; Keith was acquainted with the deceased. Moreover, investigations have unveiled text messages suggesting that Sheila Agee was not only aware of the murderous plan but was actively involved in its execution, even aiding in locating the victim.
In an effort to keep the public informed, the Sheriff’s Office posted these incriminating text exchanges between the mother and son on their official Facebook page.
Escambia County Sheriff Chip W. Simmons commented on the gravity of the case, stating, “The fact that a mother not only knew of but allegedly facilitated such a heinous act is beyond comprehension.” The case remains under active investigation, with two others reportedly sustaining minor injuries during the incident.
Here’s a look at their alleged text conversations where Keith and Sheila spoke about planning the shooting. CONTENT WARNING: These text messages include offensive language and violent wording. Viewer discretion is advised.
