Robert Adams, 28, of DeLand, Florida, was shot and killed on September 18, 2022, at the family home in the Daytona Park Estates neighborhood. His mother, Marsha Ebanks-Williams, was also killed in the same incident. The violence followed a heated argument over household electrical power after Marsha’s ex-husband and Robert’s stepfather, Michael D. Williams, returned to find the panel reactivated and a new lock in place.

Williams confronted the pair; he has said he was attacked and held down, but investigators reported no significant injuries to corroborate that claim. Williams was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and being held without bond. The couple had divorced in June 2022 after ten years of marriage but continued living in the house amid unresolved property issues. Robert’s two young children were present and unharmed but reportedly traumatized by what they witnessed.

Are there readers who knew Robert, Marsha, or the family who can share details about the household tensions leading up to that September day?
