PENSACOLA, Fla. -- Tuesday morning's deadly shooting marks the third in just over a week in Northwest Florida, and the second domestic shooting.
Eight days ago, the Escambia County Sheriff's Office investigated a murder suicide between a couple.
Pensacola Police believe Tuesday morning's shooting was domestic as well. Court records indicate the suspect, 39-year-old Kennon Farrow, has a history of domestic violence cases.
Favor House is one organization who aims to help domestic violence victims before the relationship becomes violent.
'Domestic violence doesn't discriminate -- never has, never will, and that's what we have here," Marsha Travis, Favor House interim executive director said.
Tuesday afternoon, Pensacola Police aren't sharing the details of the relationship between the suspected shooter, Kennon Farrow and the victim, Carla Williams.
Pensacola police will only say the shooting was domestic.
Marsha Travis is the interim executive director for Favor House. She isn't surprise to see domestic violence because they help victims daily.
Channel 3 asked how often they see domestic situations become deadly.
"We don't see it that often in this community," Travis said. "We do know that the most dangerous time before a DV survivor is when they either end the relationship or leave the relationship. That's one of the things we talk about, and that is the most dangerous. I think the perpetrator feels they've lost control of the relationship or the partner as a whole."
Travis told Channel 3 Favor House works with domestic violence in intimate relationships but acknowledged it can also happen between family members. With this being the second deadly shooting in less than 24 hours, Channel 3 checked with Escambia County Sheriff's Office and Pensacola Police to find out how many murders we've seen this year.
ECSO reports 13 homicides and Pensacola Police report three. Both agencies are reporting one more than this time last year.
Overall, Escambia County saw just over nine homicides per 100,000 people last year.
Over 221 Floridians died in 2019 from domestic violence incidents, according to The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The organization also says 42 percent of those murders were committed with firearms.
Travis says Favor House works with domestic violence victims daily. She says it often goes unreported because of the stigma around domestic violence.
As investigations into both deadly domestic violence shootings continue, Travis wants the community to focus their questions on the perpetrator and not the victim.
Travis and others in the community mourn the loss of the two victims in Escambia County, as well as others with similar stories.
