Prosecutors in Florida, United States, are pursuing the death penalty against a woman accused of killing both of her ex-husbands on the same day. Susan Avalon faces charges in connection with the December 17, 2025 deaths of Timothy Fletcher in Tampa and David Scott in Bradenton, according to authorities.
The Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office announced it will seek the death penalty in the case related to Fletcher's death. Investigators stated that the case began when Manatee County deputies responded to a shooting involving Scott and alerted Tampa police.
Scott was still alive when officers arrived and reportedly told them that his ex-wife could have been the shooter, authorities said. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots and seeing a vehicle leaving 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 prompted investigators to request a welfare check on Fletcher, who was found fatally shot at his home in Tampa.
Authorities allege that 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 killing. She has pleaded not guilty.
