Florida Murder Linked to Mental Health Crisis | Wilmington News

A 21-year-old man with a history of mental illness and violent outbursts has been charged with first-degree murder after fatally assaulting his own mother in Florida. Gibson Nash, diagnosed with bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and possibly autism, allegedly caused multiple car crashes while driving his mother’s car before fleeing — leaving three others injured. Found unconscious and covered in blood, he was later linked to the brutal beating and strangulation of his 56-year-old nurse mother, whose body was discovered in their home with signs of extreme violence. Forensic evidence confirmed his clothing and body contained her blood, and investigators noted severe bruising on his hands and feet. He also faces charges for leaving the scene of a crash involving injury and is suffering from liver failure due to a Tylenol overdose. Authorities warn he poses a serious threat to public safety.
