Police arrested a Palm Bay teen accused of fatally shooting her mother and her mother’s boyfriend on Saturday before she placed a phony 911 call for help, according to records obtained by News 6.
Julia Grace Egler, 16, faces two counts of first-degree murder. News 6 is naming Egler due to the circumstances of the case.
Detectives said Egler shot and killed her mother, Kelley McCollom, 38, before shooting the mother’s boyfriend, Matthew Szejnrok, 22, stabbing him repeatedly and shooting him once more before he died at the scene along Benchor Road. Egler’s motive centered on longstanding conflicts with her mother, including Egler’s disapproval that her mom was dating a 22-year-old man and alleged disagreements related to the teen’s gender transition, police said.
