The mother of the 20-year-old man arrested for killing an 18-year-old woman in an Escambia County Home Depot on Friday is being charged with Principal to First Degree Murder.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office announced the arrest of Sheila Agee Monday night. She was arrested in Washington County, Alabama, and will be extradited to Escambia County. Her mugshot has not yet been made available.
