Broward Sheriff Fires Six Deputies Over Mishandled Pleas Before Tamarac Triple Homicide

An internal review says officers ignored opportunities to seek a red-flag order after months of warnings from Mary Gingles.

Overview

  • The Broward County Sheriff's Office also disciplined 11 additional employees following the investigation.
  • Investigators say Mary Gingles, her father, and a neighbor were killed in February in Tamarac as her four-year-old daughter witnessed the shootings.
  • Reports detail repeated threats, restraining-order violations, a tracker hidden on Gingles’s car, and a bag with duct tape and cable ties left in the garage.
  • Sheriff Gregory Tony said assigned personnel failed to meet training standards or treat Gingles’s repeated calls with necessary urgency.
  • The separated husband remains in custody, has not pleaded guilty, and could face the death penalty if convicted.
