Florida mom helped son plan deadly shooting, deputies say: 'If you don't come kill her you a b****'
PENSACOLA, Fla. - A woman is now behind bars for allegedly helping her 20-year-old son coordinate a shooting at a Home Depot in north Florida that left one woman dead, according to the Escambia County Sheriff's Office.
The shooting happened at the Home Depot at 5309 N. Davis Highway in Pensacola on Friday afternoon. Deputies said one woman was found dead on the scene and the suspect, identified as Keith Agee, was arrested and charged with aggravated battery and homicide. His mother, Sheila Agee, was also arrested in Alabama on first degree murder charges and will be extradited to Escambia County.
The incident is still under investigation, but deputies said two other people suffered minor injuries. The shooting also wasn't random, according to deputies. Keith Agee knew the victim.
Text messages revealed Sheila Agee knew and participated in the plan to kill the woman, according to investigators. The messages also show Sheila's alleged involvement in helping find the victim.

The Escambia County Sheriff's Office shared the alleged text messages on their Facebook page, showing an exchange between Keith and Sheila leading up to the alleged shooting.
"The murder itself is unbelievable, but to know the mother knew about it and helped coordinate it is incomprehensible," said Escambia County Sheriff Chip W. Simmons.
