Overview
- Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said the confrontation began when Crystal Kenney told her husband to turn off the Monday Night Football game between the 49ers and Colts.
- Deputies found Crystal Kenney dead and a 13-year-old shot in the shoulder and face; the teen is in critical but stable condition, alert and talking, according to the sheriff.
- The teen told the sheriff she begged her stepfather not to shoot after witnessing him kill her mother, yet he fired anyway.
- A 12-year-old ran to a neighbor to call 911 and an infant was found unharmed in a crib at the home.
- After fleeing, Jason Kenney called his sister, then barricaded in a shed at his late father’s property in Lake Wales and fatally shot himself as deputies arrived; investigators later found a note from Crystal urging him to get help for drinking and cocaine use, and the children are now with their maternal grandparents.
