Tommy Dixon, 21, was shot and killed at a residence on Granville Court South in Saint Petersburg on September 16, 2021, about 11 p.m. He and 18-year-old Barbarajean Lombardi were found dead at the scene from gunshot wounds. Authorities describe the incident as domestic-related because of Lombardi’s relationship with the identified suspect, 29-year-old James Pagan.

Pagan had been living with a married couple, Joshua and Gabrielle Clark, for roughly seven months; Lombardi had been staying over frequently during the last five months. Investigators say Pagan left the house after cutting off his ankle monitor, drove about three miles to the Granville Court South residence, and the shootings occurred that night. Pagan fled but was later apprehended in Alachua County on unrelated charges; local prosecutors are processing charges for the two killings.

Tommy’s stepmother, Ebony Williams Dixon, said she helped raise him since he was 18 months old and described him as a good kid who loved drumming and had recently re-enrolled in school.
