Florida Man Kills Wife, Shoots 13-Year-Old, Then Himself After NFL TV Dispute

Detectives are probing substance use after finding a note in the home.

Overview

  • Authorities say the confrontation began late Dec. 22 during Monday Night Football after Crystal Kenney asked Jason Kenney to turn off the 49ers–Colts game.
  • Sheriff Grady Judd said Jason Kenney had been drinking as the argument escalated and Crystal told her 12-year-old son to run to a neighbor to call 911.
  • Deputies found Crystal Kenney dead and a 13-year-old girl shot in the face and shoulder; an infant was discovered unharmed in a crib.
  • The 13-year-old is hospitalized in critical but stable condition and is conscious and speaking, according to the sheriff.
  • Jason Kenney fled, told his sister he had done something terrible, then died by suicide at his late father's property; investigators recovered an undated note referencing drinking and cocaine use, and relatives reported prior abuse despite no earlier police calls, with the children now in their grandparents' care.
