PENSACOLA, Fla. — A 27-year-old man was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday morning for the murder of a 25-year-old woman outside Mugs & Jugs in Escambia County<\/a> in August 2023.<\/p>\n

Christian Ketchup’s life sentence comes after he was convicted of second-degree murder with a firearm<\/a> in September.<\/p>\n

The victim in the case is Tierra Binion, who was a mother of two young twins.<\/a><\/p>\n

As part of his sentence, Ketchup was ordered to pay $7,200 for the victim’s compensation trust fund.<\/p>\n

The incident happened on August 23, 2023, in the parking lot of the bar on Scenic Hwy.<\/p>\n

Authorities say a fight started inside Mugs & Jugs between Binion and Ketchup’s girlfriend, 24-year-old Rachel DeRise. It then continued outside.<\/p>\n

“During the fight, Christian Ketchup just jumps to [Binion] and punches her and knocks her aside,” Sheriff Chip Simmons said.<\/p>\n

Authorities say Binion was knocked out when DeRise began hitting her while on the ground. Ketchup then pulled out a handgun and shot Binion 10 times.<\/p>\n

Ketchup and DeRise left the scene before Ketchup called deputies a short time later and turned himself in.<\/p>\n

During trial, Ketchup argued that he shot Binion out of self-defense as he believed she was armed. Authorities confirmed during investigation that she was not.<\/p>\n

Ketchup has been jailed since the day of the incident, as he was never granted bond.<\/p>\n

DeRise was arrested for battery in the days following the incident. She later signed a plea deal to a charge of misdemeanor battery<\/a> and was sentenced in September 2024 to 60 days in county jail, as well as one year of probation.<\/p>\n

Records show DeRise was released from jail on November 6, 2024, and her probation was terminated on Sept. 19.<\/p>\n
