Michelle Ennis, 44, was shot and killed inside a trailer at a mobile home community on Francois Street, just west of Bithlo, on June 29, 2019. Deputies found her dead around 4:15 p.m.; the autopsy reported a point-blank gunshot that left a muzzle imprint on her face. There were no eyewitnesses to the killing.

Jack Russell Mathis Jr., 34, was initially charged with manslaughter and told neighbors and his mother that the shooting was accidental. His mother, Deborah Hamilton, said Mathis called her crying and claimed Ennis had a knife; she later found him drinking from a small liquor bottle. Neighbors recalled Mathis saying the death was an accident, and one noted he routinely carried a black .40 caliber handgun. A grand jury later indicted Mathis on first-degree murder and he is being held without bond at the Orange County Jail.

The scene reportedly showed no signs of a struggle and the autopsy findings are described as contradicting an accidental shooting. Does anyone have information about Michelle Ennis or the events at that trailer on June 29, 2019?
