The teen allegedly told police that she obtained a single round and loaded it into the gun before shooting her mother’s boyfriend in the head, after he begged her to “take him out of his misery,” according to the affidavit.
That is the last thing a Florida teenager said before opening fire on her mother and her mother’s boyfriend inside their Palm Bay home, according to an affidavit from the Palm Bay Police Department obtained by Inside Edition Digital.
Police arrived at the home shortly after midnight on July 7 in response to a 911 call from the 16-year-old suspect who claimed that burglars had broken into the home and started shooting, according to the affidavit,
That story began to fall apart as investigators moved through the crime scene and found bloody footprints matching a pair of shoes owned by the teenager, according to the affidavit.
Police also said that a review of the footage from security cameras placed outside the home did not show anyone entering the residence after Kelley McCollom, 41, and 22-year-old Matthew Szejnrok arrived home that night.
Once confronted with these findings the teenager allegedly changed her story and admitted to killing the two because she “did not like that Kelley was dating Matthew,” says the affidavit.
