Tierra Binion, 25, a mother of twins, was shot and killed in the early hours of August 23, 2023, outside Mugs & Jugs on Scenic Highway in Escambia County, Florida. An argument inside the bar with Rachel DeRise, who is the girlfriend of Christian Ketchup, moved into the parking lot and became a physical fight described by the sheriff as mutually combatant. DeRise punched and beat Binion, and Ketchup intervened, striking Binion and then firing seven shots that killed her.

Ketchup called deputies shortly after the shooting and turned himself in; he is charged with murder and held without bond. DeRise was charged with battery and later received a plea deal of 60 days in county jail and 12 months of probation. Family and friends held a vigil near Blue Wahoos Stadium, and Binion’s mother, Brandy Espiritu, has urged better security at Mugs & Jugs or its closure. The sheriff’s office has released images of potential witnesses and asked for tips.

Did anyone see the fight or the moments just before the shooting who can help investigators?
