Kelley McCollom : “Palm Bay Teen Faces Charges in Double Murder Case”

Teenager Faces Murder Charges in Palm Bay Double Homicide

A 16-year-old teenager from Palm Bay, Florida, is currently facing murder charges after allegedly killing their mother and mother’s boyfriend in a tragic incident that shocked the community. The Palm Bay Police Department responded to a call about a possible break-in at the residence in the early hours of last Sunday, only to discover a horrifying scene inside.

Upon arrival, law enforcement found the lifeless bodies of 38-year-old Kelley McCollom and 22-year-old Matthew Szejnrok in different parts of the house. The teenager claimed to have been alone at home when an unknown intruder attempted to enter the premises. However, further investigation revealed a different and chilling truth.

According to police reports, the teenager confessed to orchestrating the murders, making it look like a break-in. The young suspect allegedly waited for the victims to return home, armed with a gun and a knife. When McCollom and Szejnrok entered the house, they were met with gunshots and a fatal outcome.

The teenager’s actions did not stop there, as they reportedly proceeded to stab Szejnrok multiple times before delivering the final blow. The crime scene was meticulously staged, with shattered glass and misleading footprints attempting to mask the true nature of the incident.

Chief Mario Augello expressed his condolences to the families affected by the tragedy and assured the public of ongoing investigations to unravel all aspects of the case. The teenager now faces two counts of first-degree premeditated murder, marking a harrowing chapter in Palm Bay’s history.
