Girlfriend Of Mugs & Jugs Murder Suspect Charged With Battery
August 24, 2023
The girlfriend in the Mugs & Jugs murder has been arrested in connection with the incident.
Rachel Marie DeRise, 23, was charged with misdemeanor battery. She was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $15,000 bond.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said DeRise is the girlfriend of 25-year-old Christian Ketchup who was charged with homicide in the shooting death of 25-year old Tierra Binion about 1:00 Wednesday morning.
The incident began with an argument between DeRise and Binion inside the bar, deputies said. They went outside and began to fight.
Ketchup blindside-punched Binion and knocked her out, according to the ECSO, before continuing to beat her as she was out cold. Investigators said Ketchup pulled a handgun and shot Binion seven times.
Ketchup remained in the Escambia County Jail without bond.

I’m Tierra’s stepmom, he deserves the death penalty and her father and I are pushing for it! I raised her since she was 2 and treated her as my own child. We still just can’t wrap our heads around this and my daughter, her half sister is having it the worst! Rachel DeRise will get hers too, we plan on pushing for accessory to murder. Tierra’s dad had his birthday the next day and this was his present from 2 strangers. We. Are. Mad.
@Snflowers,
The felony murder laws haven’t been applied here, so your comment is irrelevant. At this point, it seems that they don’t believe she was a part of the murder. As I said, the article doesn’t give us any further information than that she got in a fight with the victim, NOT that her actions contributed to the death of the victim.
@Just saying
So is not knowing 5he laws in Florida…Under Florida’s “felony murder rule,” someone can be sentenced to life in prison even if they did not kill someone, even if they weren’t there and even if they didn’t know….like the guy who is serving life in prison for loaning his roommate his car keys.
How can you shoot someone 7 times and be charged only with 2nd degree murder?
@Jr
I mean, you’re not wrong. But people shouldn’t be hitting ANYONE outside of self defense, not just women.
Reading comprehension is a HUGE problem, obviously. The article says that she fought with the victim, then this “wonderful boyfriend” of hers cold cocked the victim, knocking her unconscious, after which he continued to beat her, then he pulled a gun and shot her 7 times. Nowhere does it say that DeRise did anything other than get into a fight with the victim, hence the misdemeanor battery charge.
For all we know, she was trying to stop him. The article simply doesn’t say. You folks don’t need to work out…you get enough exercise jumping to conclusions.
@Sad!
“Death penalty for him”
Why? What would executing him accomplish that life in prison would not?
@ J the G….WHAT PART OF HITTING ANY FEMALE IS OK IN YOUR MIND? There’s no excuse to touch/strike a female no matter the situation unless it was a life/death situation and i fail to see where she posed a threat to him especially when she was blindsided by his fist and knocked unconscious and they continued beating her then shot her. I guess you and I were raised differently.
Birds of a feather, murder together
Death penalty for him, life for her. This was pure wickedness. She gets knocked out, then beaten, then gets shot SEVEN times!!!!! Nothing good comes from bars and alcohol. Mugs and Jugs is a trash place!
J-THE-G , what part of “Ketchup blindside-punched Binion and knocked her out, according to the ECSO” did you not comprehend?
Seems beating someone to death is just part of the drinking culture and is not taken seriously. Just like the Atmore case of the motorist involved in the accident. The Atmore Police Dept. has not even bothered to give a statement, in time the public will forget about it – business at the tavern will go on as usual!
Why wasn’t DeRise charged with Accessory to murder? Seems the misdemeanor charge is to prevent the murder charge. She participated in the beating even after the victim was unconscious and defenseless.
WHY–WHY–WHY?
Drunk, Crazy with alcohol, jealousy most likely.
Dude needs to go to Big Boy Prison for LIFE with No Possibility of Parole.
Woman needs to go to Big Girl Prison for her part in egging-on the Dude resulting in the death of the Mom of Two….
Sad….what have we become when murder is the answer to so many things?
Tell me demons don’t exist.
Misdemeanor battery? What a lame charge. Lame. That’ll show the public that beating the living hell out if someone won’t be tolerated in Escambia County, Florida.
EQUAL RIGHTS=EQUAL FIGHTS for those who seem concerned with a man hitting a woman. I would need to know what caused the fight to either approve or disapprove of him hitting her. Shooting her after she was out cold is another story. That was trashy no matter how you look at it.
A Man does not slap a woman. This guy needs a life-long cell for an attitude adjustment!
Where were the bar’s bouncers or employees to deescalate or diffuse the conflict?
@ Sad in America…I completely agree with the terminology you used for those that left and what kind of real man will stand by and allow another man to put their hands on a female? I was raised better than that. I’m 50+ years old and my momma would still whoop me if I had put my hands on a female in anger. I just find it hard to believe that this even happened but worse that no one tried to stop this. The article clearly states she(the victim) was out with friends…where were they? They failed her that night, in my opinion. I’m the type that if we are all together then I got you no matter what…WHETHER WE HAVE KNOWN ONE ANOTHER A LONG TIME OR JUST MET…i got you!!! That fella doesn’t look all that big and there’s ways to stop a threat and those that sat idly by are guilty of letting this get to the point it got to.Prayers for them babies and her family.
@Work Boots lots of people work at restaurants and so forth where they are there until late. They’re just getting off at this time. I’m not condoning the fighting or murder, but there are people who work out at that time.
How did not one man there step up when he punched a woman? And then like cowards they all left and had to be tracked down by the sheriff to be a witness.
Good deal on her arrest but I was sure expecting more charges than mis battery. She beat this poor young lady while the victim was on the ground and defenseless. Both her and her bf should get a quick trip to Ol Sparky. This is as low as someone can get…a man hitting a woman to the point of unconsciousness and then this girl jumps back on the victim…WHOS UNCONSCIOUS…and beats on her more as she’s encouraging the BF to keep on attacking her…then the bf goes to get a gun and shoots this young lady 7 TIMES!! Nope, throw the book at both and hook them up in the wooden chair
She got herself a real man didn’t she?! She couldn’t fight her own fight & she watched her “man” beat a woman to death!! Trash, both of them.
