Charles Bubba Fasbenner, 20, of Apalachicola, Florida, was shot and killed on April 3, 2014 after entering the yard of homeowner Ronald Joseph R.J. Page while heavily intoxicated. Fasbenner’s blood alcohol was 0.31 and toxicology also showed hydrocodone, acetaminophen and methadone. Fasbenner was pronounced dead at the scene.

Franklin County law enforcement and State Attorney Willie Meggs reviewed the case and concluded Page’s use of deadly force was justified under Florida’s Stand Your Ground statute, which creates a presumption that someone who unlawfully and forcibly enters a dwelling intends to commit a violent unlawful act. Fasbenner’s intoxication and failure to heed warnings were cited in the decision not to file charges. Fasbenner’s grandparents, who raised him, disagree with that outcome and described the death as murder.

Are there witnesses or local residents who recall the events that night or who can shed further light on what happened in the yard?
