According to the complaint and indictment , in the early morning of December 7 , 2023 , Crawford left Atlanta and headed towards his ex - girlfriend ' s ( M . B . ) house in Odessa , Florida . That evening , he broke into M . B . ' s place armed with a gun and a stun - gun , waiting for her to come home . When she arrived , Crawford brutally attacked her , repeatedly punching , kicking , and shocking her while threatening to kill her and her children . Fortunately , M . B . managed to defend herself and escape , but tragically , Crawford shot and killed her small dog before leaving . A neighbor who heard M . B . ' s screams called 911 , and the local Sheriff ' s Office promptly apprehended Crawford . Deputies found a pistol on the dining room table and blood throughout the house . M . B . suffered severe injuries , including extensive bruising , stun - gun burns , and multiple fractures . Crawford later admitted to breaking in , using the stun - gun , punching M . B . , and killing her dog . Prior to the attack , he even searched on his phone about the consequences of killing a woman . In a more casual tone , U . S . Attorney Roger B . Handberg just announced that Timothy Crawford , a 52 - year - old from Georgia , has been indicted for interstate domestic violence , discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence , and interstate stalking . If convicted , Crawford could be looking at a minimum of 10 years in federal prison , up to life . Remember , an indictment is just a formal charge , and everyone is innocent until proven guilty . The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives ( ATF ) handled the investigation , while Assistant U . S . Attorney Diego F . Novaes will be prosecuting the case .
