Richard Bubba Crews, 38, was shot and killed on September 2, 2019, during a violent altercation at a Rooster Lane home in Hilliard, Florida.

Her son, Skylor Cole Johnson, intervened and, fearing for his mother’s life, retrieved a 9 mm handgun and shot Crews multiple times. After the shooting, Johnson reportedly unloaded the remaining bullets and called police; he was arrested and charged in Crews’s death. Johnson’s defense filed a motion under Florida’s Stand Your Ground law, saying he acted to prevent imminent bodily harm or death to his mother and was not obliged to retreat.

The case centers on whether Johnson’s use of deadly force was reasonable and justified under Florida law. Does anyone have additional details about the incident or the legal arguments presented at the Stand Your Ground hearing?
