New Details Released On Deadly Home Depot Shooting

August 14, 2023

A report obtained early Monday morning by NorthEscambia.com provided more details into a deadly shooting Friday afternoon inside an Escambia County Home Depot store.

The suspect has been identified as 20-year old Keith Eric Agee of Calvert, Alabama.  He has been charged with premeditated first degree murder and two counts of aggravated battery. He remains in the Escambia County Jail without bond.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to the shots fired report and arrived to find the victim deceased on the floor in aisle 52.  The victim’s name was redacted from the report but states that she was a “contracted inventory worker” that was working inside the store.

Friends have identified the victim as 18-year old Brooklyn Sims.

Victim footage showed a black male, later identified as Agee enter the store and turn down aisle 52. Seconds later, people are seen running from aisle 52, then Agee runs back toward the entrance. He runs in the parking lot, gets into a silver four-door sedan and exits that parking lot at a high rate of speed toward Duval Street. He called 911 a short time later from the Mellow Mushroom on Bayou Boulevard and surrendered to police.

According to the report, Agee was interviewed at the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. He stated that his day started by going to work at AM/NS Calvert Steel in Mt. Vernon, Alabama. While at work, he received a call from a local medical office, and he headed to Pensacola. The remainder of his statements were redacted from the report.

The report reveals that two other people suffered gunshot wounds, including one wounded in the back. That victim said he heard an unfamiliar voice say something to the victim before gunshots rang out. A second witness stated that Agee said something to the victim before opening fire.

A Glock 19 and 9mm rounds were recovered from the street in front of AAMCO Transmission at 5655 North Davis Highway, and Agee’s shirt was found in the parking lot of the AMC Bayou 15 on Bayou Boulevard, according to the report.

    Andy, your comments are disturbing on so many levels. It makes no sense to me that you are concerned about this evil person receiving the death penalty. He obviously has been talking and thinking about killing this beautiful young mother of HIS child for some time. The texts make it glaringly obvious that his own mother new and was planning this evil with him. I’m sure his mother has been having conversations with him for some time about this. She may even have been encouraging him to kill her. She is completely verbally abusive to him and i would bet money that she was verbally and physically abusive to him growing up. It doesn’t excuse his behavior and he should be held accountable as well as her. They both need to be put to death and eliminated. They are evil.
    I am disturbed by your ignorance and stupidity that your thinking about him being rehabilitated. Do you really think these two people are going to live decent lives if not punished? People that can do this kind of evil don’t change. You, Andy seem to not care one but about the real victims here. Scary.

    @Bob . I have to feel the weakness in the current Judicial System and the lack of severe consequences is why we’ve gotten where we are.

    @ Andy. Could we get a serving of that sarcasm on the side.

    @Molino Man

    The same reason I would be opposed to the government arbitrarily deciding to murder you or your family.

    You have a right to life that should not be violated unless absolutely necessary.

    Capital punishment doesn’t reduce the crime rate. It doesn’t rehabilitate criminals. It is no more preventative than life imprisonment despite being significantly more expensive. The only “good” thing about execution is that it makes the bloodthirsty sickos in our community happy to watch people die.

    Why not?

    Fry him is a great way to remove this scum from the earth and air we breathe. Nothing unkind about it. @Andy – you get his jail visitation schedule and talk to him so he can come to Christmas dinner at your house.

    Wow, this one statement:

    “He stated that his day started by going to work at AM/NS Calvert Steel in Mt. Vernon, Alabama. While at work, he received a call from a local medical office, and he headed to Pensacola. The remainder of his statements were redacted from the report.”

    Makes it sound like he might have contracted something and decided to confront the person who gave it to him. Now 2 peoples lives are lost.

    Rehabilitation is just as a ‘restraining order’, words on paper. I worked around convicts (Detainees for you Liberals) for over forty years. You can check the re-arrest files on 99% and find that recidivism is a word that they do know. I support the death penalty for premeditate malice murder and for malice rape. There is no other remedy or cure for monsters. I don’t Andy. I do wonder how many victims of predatory criminals live in his family. I have known others as Andy. Many have a warm heart for predatory criminals and a cold heart for victims and their families.

    @Andy
    Home for Christmas for murder???
    She will NEVER be home for Christmas again.

    What is excitingly unkind is killing a defenseless woman and traumatizing countless innocent people as well as wounding two others. He should be fast tracked to the death penalty

  10. Andy on August 14th, 2023 12:37 pm

    Fry him? That would be exceedingly unkind. He should have the chance for rehabilitation, and hopefully he can be back with his family in time for Christmas.

    @ES

    Why?

  12. Mike J. on August 14th, 2023 10:38 am

    Rest in Peace for the murder victim and prayers for the two wounded victims. If legally convicted in court with no mistakes or corruption, this man should get the death penalty. Ol’Sparky should return for every convicted murderer, in my opinion.

    Twice domestic violence charges were dropped against him in Mobile County Alabama. This could have been prevented

  14. ES on August 14th, 2023 9:19 am

    Fry him
