On May 25, 2019, four individuals attempted to rob Shawn Callins while he was inside his residence located at 416 Florida Avenue. When Callins resisted, the suspects shot and killed him.  A female victim who was six and a half months pregnant, was shot twice during the invasion.  She suffered severe blood loss and was transported to a Pensacola, Florida Hospital.  Due to the distress on the unborn baby, the baby was taken by emergency C-section and was placed on life support.

Tragically, the baby boy died early this morning. As a result of his death, the four suspects that were previously charged with the murder of Shawn Callins and the attempted murder of the female victim, will now be charged with the murder of the child.  The four suspects are:  18 year old Willie Blackmon of Dothan, 18 year old Kaleb Tubbs of Dothan, 17 year old Carlos Lindsey of Opp and 21 year old David Key of Abbeville.  All suspects remain in the Houston County Jail without bond.
