TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – A man accused of committing three murders in Leon County and Valdosta earlier this year could now face the death penalty if convicted, according to court records.
Flay Rollins was indicted Tuesday on two counts of first-degree murder, a new charge of unlawful killing of an unborn child and firearm possession by a convicted felon in connection to the string of murders that occurred in January.

Rollins was arrested after allegedly killing two women in Leon County, Sheena Kenon and Otica Williams, who was pregnant at the time of her death. He’s also accused of shooting and killing his co-worker, Walter Pettiford, in Valdosta. Investigators believe all of the murders happened within 24 to 48 hours.
Just one day after Rollins’ indictment, the state filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty.
Court documents obtained by WCTV Thursday reveal that prosecutors intend to prove the following circumstances: Rollins was “previously convicted of another capital felony or of a felony involving the use or threat of violence to the person,” “the capital felony was heinous, atrocious or cruel” and that the felony was a homicide, committed in a “cold, calculated and premeditated manner without any pretense of moral or legal justification,” according to the document.

Rollins is scheduled to be arraigned in Leon County next Monday.
