An Alabama woman allegedly helped her son murder his daughter’s mother inside a Florida Home Depot — with police releasing a disturbing exchange of damning text messages.
Cops responded Aug. 11 to reports of an active shooter at the Pensacola store on North Davis Avenue, where they found a dead woman and two people with minor injuries, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said.
Eric Agee, 20, was accused of gunning down his 2-year-old daughter’s mom, Brooklyn Sims, 18, a Home Depot contract employee, according to WEAR.
The suspect was charged with first-degree premeditated murder and aggravated battery.
“Investigators discovered that the mother of the suspect, Keith Agee, knew and even helped him coordinate the murder,” the sheriff’s office later said in a statement.
“According to text messages, it’s clear that Keith Agee’s mother, Sheila Agee, knew and participated in the plan to kill Brooklyn Sims,” the statement continued.
“Additionally, text messages between mother and son highlight the mother’s involvement in helping locate the victim.”
The sheriff’s office shared a lengthy exchange between Keith and his mother — in which he told her that he wanted to “just shoot” the mother of his child.
Instead of talking him out of it, Sheila told her son that if he didn’t “come kill her” he is a “b—h,” the troubling texts show.
The mom even went on to give him Sims’ location, according to the exchange.
“Hell if you getting off work now I’ll give you the address here and you can ride over here and do it so you don’t have to do it in front of [daughter],” she wrote.
Sheila then told her son to “erase” the incriminating texts “cause I don’t want nobody to know I was texting you stupid ass,” the exchange shows.
Keith then ended the disturbing conversation by saying that the “thought of her knowin she f–ked and the regret in her face will b enough to satisfy me,” according to the text messages released by cops.
The Sheriff’s Office announced that the 50-year-old mother, who was arrested Monday night, will be extradited to Escambia County.
“The murder itself is unbelievable, but to know the mother knew about it and helped coordinate it is incomprehensible,” Sheriff Simmons said in a statement.
