Devyn Martin was 30 when he died on October 26, 2017, in Indian Lake Estates, Florida. Pennington ordered Martin to leave; when Martin didn’t comply Pennington shot an arrow from a compound bow that narrowly missed him. Martin then reached into his golf cart and grabbed a rifle but did not point it at Pennington.

Pennington went inside, returned with a sawed-off shotgun and shot and killed Martin. Pennington later tried to conceal Martin’s body in nearby woods and told deputies Martin needed to be exterminated. The case went to trial in December 2020; a jury convicted Pennington of first-degree murder after about four and a half hours of deliberation and he was sentenced to life without parole.

What details about the night or the relationship between the men might help explain how the situation escalated to this point?
