Prosecutors in Florida, United States, are seeking the death penalty against a woman accused of killing her two former husbands on the same day.
Susan Avalon faces charges in the December 17, 2025 killings of Timothy Fletcher in Tampa and David Scott in Bradenton, according to authorities.
The Hillsborough County State Attorney’s Office said it will pursue the death penalty in the case tied to Fletcher’s death.
The investigators said the case began when Manatee County deputies responded to Scott’s shooting and alerted Tampa police.
Scott was still alive when officers arrived and told them the shooter could have been his ex-wife, authorities said.
Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing a vehicle leave the scene. Investigators later located Avalon in Citrus County.
When questioned about her ex-husband, Avalon allegedly responded, “Which one?” according to authorities.
That response led investigators to request a welfare check on Fletcher, who was found fatally shot at his home in Tampa.
Authorities allege Avalon killed Fletcher before traveling to Bradenton and shooting Scott.
Avalon is charged with first-degree premeditated murder in Fletcher’s death and two counts of second-degree murder in Scott’s k!lling.
She has pleaded not guilty.
