On August 4th, 2025, a 14-year-old boy named Trevor Lee allegedly shot and killed his parents, David Lee and Brandi Smith, at their home in Middleburg, Florida. According to the Clay County Sheriff's Office, Trevor called 911 from a nearby church shortly after midnight, confessing to the murders.
When deputies arrived at the family's home, they found the bodies of David, 44, and Brandi, 45, with apparent gunshot wounds. The murder weapon, believed to have belonged to the parents, was left inside the house. Investigators are now working to determine the circumstances that led to the tragic incident, including looking into Trevor's mental health history.
Trevor's best friend, Kyree Beamon, described the teenager as a "great friend, great brother, great son," and said the actions do not reflect the Trevor he knows. Brandi's cousin, James Lewis, also spoke highly of the family, saying they were "laughing, joking, doing family things" whenever he saw them.
The community is left in shock and grief over the devastating loss of life. As Trevor remains in custody on two counts of second-degree murder, authorities continue to investigate the case, hoping to uncover the motive behind this tragic act.
