Mary Reed, 61, of Marianna, Florida, was found shot to death in her home on February 11, 2017. Deputies from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office responded to a frantic call at the residence and eventually located Reed and 33-year-old Kassi Henderson, also shot, in the living room; the scene was treated as a double homicide.

Authorities identified 75-year-old William Hawk of Fountain, Florida, as the primary suspect after contacting him as Reed’s emergency contact. Hawk returned to the scene armed, admitted to the killings, and was shot by deputies when he refused to drop his weapon. He was charged with two counts of second-degree murder and one count of aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer.

Hawk was treated for his injuries and found legally incompetent to proceed at one point; after restoration to competency he accepted a plea and received a 25-year prison sentence. The case was prosecuted by the State Attorney’s Office with involvement from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.
