Sheila Agee allegedly encouraged her son to murder the mother of his child. She is charged with principal first-degree premeditated murder. Her son Keith was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison in December 2023. At trial, Keith confessed to shooting Sims, with whom he shared a child, because he contracted a sexually transmitted disease. Keith then confronted Sims at the Home Depot, where she worked with Sheila. Sheila allegedly told Keith to kill Sims at their workplace so his child didn’t have to witness it. Sheila first stood trial in November 2024; however, it ended in a mistrial 'after jurors said they were concerned for their physical safety while deliberating'. Another juror was criticized after playing a crossword puzzle during the trial and deliberations.
