Mother Killed by Deputy in Florida | Augusta Georgia News

A Florida mother of two was fatally killed by a deputy during a terrifying home confrontation after returning from the beach — the deputy, Troy Savetz, allegedly took her phone and abducted her in a rental car. Both were later found dead inside the vehicle. Savetz, a 14-year veteran with the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office, is now under investigation for criminal behavior that stripped him of his law enforcement role. The children, ages nine and twelve, survived thanks to their quick thinking and bravery — they called 911 and are now in their father’s care. Authorities have condemned Savetz’s actions as inexcusable, while the community mourns and focuses on supporting the traumatized kids.
