ESCAMBIA COUNTY, Pensacola — A devastating incident unfolded at an Escambia County Home Depot, where a young 18-year-old woman lost her life in a shocking act of violence. The victim, identified as Brooklyn Sims, was tragically shot and killed on Friday while she was at work as a contracted inventory employee at the Home Depot located on Davis Highway.

Brooklyn, a mother to a 2-year-old girl, was well-liked by friends and coworkers. The community is mourning the loss of this young life that was filled with promise and potential.

The alleged perpetrator, Keith Agee, 20, has been taken into custody for the murder. Law enforcement officials revealed that Agee and Sims were acquainted with each other prior to the tragic incident. The motive behind the shooting remains under investigation.

Disturbing text messages exchanged between Keith Agee and his mother, Sheila Agee, have come to light. The messages suggest a sinister plot leading up to the fatal shooting. According to authorities, Sheila Agee is now facing charges as an accessory to first-degree murder for her alleged role in coordinating the crime.

The sequence of events unfolded as Agee entered the store, proceeded to aisle 52, where Sims was working, and reportedly opened fire. Surveillance footage captured the chilling moments as the incident unfolded. Agee was later arrested after he called 911 from a nearby location and surrendered to the police.

The revelation of these text messages adds a disturbing layer to this tragedy, shedding light on the alleged planning and involvement of Agee’s mother. The details contained within the messages depict a chilling intent to harm Sims.

Friends and community members are coming together to remember Brooklyn Sims and offer their support to her family. A balloon release in her honor is scheduled for Monday evening at Davis Park in Citronelle, Alabama. As the investigation continues, the community seeks answers and justice for the young life taken far too soon.
