No Charges Filed After Woman’s Brother Kills Her Ex-boyfriend After He Broke Into Her Trailer
September 6, 2023
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office says no charges are being filed after a deadly shooting Tuesday night at an Escambia County mobile home park.
Deputies arrived about 9:30 p.m. at the Silver Lake Mobile Home Park on Pine Forest Road to find the 26-year old deceased from a gunshot wound inside the residence.
The ECSO said the man went to his 47 year old ex-girlfriend’s residence. He broke the door down and forced his way into the trailer. Once inside, he hit the female several times. She texted her family for assistance, and her 23 year old brother, along with others, responded to the house to help.
During the argument, the ex-boyfriend pulled a gun, cocked it and aimed it at the brother. The brother then shot the man twice, and he died from his wounds, the ECSO said.
The investigation is continuing, but at this point the ECSO said no charges will be filed.

Thoughts on her contacting her brother instead of 9-1-1: it says she “texted” her family. Maybe she was in a situation where she needed to be fast and discrete about getting help. You can text 9-1-1, but that’s going to involve typing out location and details to a dispatcher that doesn’t know her situation. Family already knows where she lives, could already have an idea of what’s going on with fewer words, like “help, he broke in” for example. Send that to 9-1-1 and it’d be questionnaire: “can I call you? Where are you located? Do you need police? Are you in danger? Is he still in the home?” No matter her reasoning, I’m glad help arrived and she’s okay.
Trash is taken out on Tuesdays.
Thank ya brother
Sometimes calling family is much faster than the cops. She did the right thing.
This violence has probably happened before but fortunately this one won’t be a part of it anymore !!!!!
problem solved
“np630ss on” the answer as to why call a relative that is close by, When seconds count the Police are minutes away.” comes to mind.
The person that could get there quicker was her brother and he did what needed to be done and may have saved his sisters life.
Kill or be killed!
Why not let the cops deal with it? He would have been out of jail in no time and come back to get her!
Glad no charges were filed against the brother!
When burglars see more of this happening – they may think twice about their chosen profession. You won’t leave from my house “lead free” if you break in, I promise you that!
Stupid thieves – you should know that the majority of us law abiding citizens are now “packing” 24/7 (cuz its legal now). You better think about that long and hard…idiots!
I realize this was some sort of domestic violence situation, but still – break in (no matter the situation) you could very easily end up dead nowadays! AND RIGHTLY SO!!!!
Good ending to a sad story.
In my opinion, the only crimes committed in this instance, were done by the deceased. I do question why the victim didn’t dial 9-1-1 instead of her brother. I’m glad she is alive and presumably not harmed physically. As for the brother, killing someone takes a mental toll. I hope he gets help.
Perfect brotherly love
