Sixteen-year-old Julia Egler has been indicted for the first-degree murder of her mother, Kelley McCollom, and her mother's boyfriend, Matthew Szejnrok, in Palm Bay, Florida. Egler initially claimed that an intruder broke into their home and attacked them, but detectives later found evidence contradicting her story, including a gun and bloody footprints linking her to the crime. According to police, Egler shot her mother and then stabbed Szejnrok multiple times, allegedly motivated by a dispute over her gender transition and her mother's relationship with Szejnrok. The state attorney’s office has stated that Egler will be tried as an adult but will not face the death penalty. She is currently in custody awaiting arraignment on the charges. The incident has shocked the local community, raising concerns over youth violence.
