Overview
- Polk County deputies say Jason Kenney, 47, shot his wife, Crystal, on Dec. 22 in their Lakeland home after she asked to turn off the 49ers–Colts Monday Night Football game.
- Crystal told her 12-year-old son to run to a neighbor to call 911; responding officers found her dead and a 13-year-old girl shot in the face and shoulder.
- The injured teen told investigators she begged not to be shot, and authorities say she remains hospitalized but is expected to survive.
- Kenney fled, phoned his sister saying he had done something terrible, then fatally shot himself in a shed at his late father's Lake Wales property as deputies tried to take him into custody.
- Detectives recovered an undated note from Crystal referencing alcohol and cocaine use, relatives reported prior abuse despite no police calls, and the surviving children are now with grandparents.
