Mobile Double Murder Suspect Shoots, Kills Self In Escambia County

December 5, 2014

An Escambia County man murdered two people in Mobile before shooting and killing himself at his Escambia home as deputies approached, according to police.

The Mobile Police found two people deceased from gunshot wounds inside Vaughn Photography at 24 North Florida Street in Mobile about 3:45 p.m. Thursday. Daniel Herbert Vaughn, 43 years old of Mobile and his mother, 67 year-old Rosa Vaughn McGahagin of Spanish Fort, were pronounced deceased on scene.

Terry Walton, age 56 of Pensacola, was identified as the suspect by Mobile Police. It was determined Vaughn and Walton knew each other but no motive for the shooting has been released.

The investigation revealed Walton returned to his residence in Pensacola after the incident. As Escambia County (FL) Sheriff’s Office deputies were at his residence attempting to make contact with him, Walton shot himself, causing his death, according to police.

Mobile Police said the case is considered cleared with Walton’s death.

    Rosa Vaughn was my wedding photographer 30 years ago. She did beautiful work. This makes me very sad.

    Knew the Vaughn’s and they were both very good people.
    They will be missed and this is such a tragic way to die and so senseless.
    Mr Walton has severely harmed both the Vaughn and his own family.
    Prayers for all of them.
