Court papers say Rollins ultimately stabbed Kenon in the back with a knife and ran. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">He would later stand trial for attempted murder, court records show, but was found guilty of the lesser charge of attempted manslaughter. Rollins was sentenced to four years in prison for it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Prosecutor Adrian Mood confirmed Wednesday that the victim in that 2018 case, was the same Sheena Kenon that Rollins is accused of killing last week. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">State Attorney Jack Campbell said Rollins has a rap sheet dating back 30 years and a disturbing history of domestic violence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cOften the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior,\u201d Campbell said. \u201cSo that\u2019s a red flag, but probably the more severe red flag is the domestic nature of the prior crimes and what we\u2019re dealing with now. Domestic violence is incredibly prevalent, incredibly dangerous, and this is a classic example.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | text-center article-text\">More on crime in our area:<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Rollins was out on bond and awaiting trial in May on an unrelated attempted murder charge. Court papers say he is accused of stabbing his girlfriend with a box cutter in October 2023. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Rollins now faces three counts of murder, two in Leon County and one in Lowndes County, where he is accused of shooting and killing his co-worker Walter \u201cBo\u201d Pettiford on Jan. 16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The State Attorney says Rollins could face an additional count of murder if an autopsy confirms one of the female victims was pregnant when she was killed. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">To keep up with the latest news as it develops, follow WCTV on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/WCTV.tv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/wctvnews\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@WCTVEyewitnessNews\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" target=\"_blank\">Nextdoor<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/nextdoor.com\/page\/wctv\/\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTV\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WCTV\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Have a news tip or see an error? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wctv.tv\/2026\/01\/22\/accused-triple-murderer-killed-woman-he-stabbed-2018-prosecutors-say\/mailto:news@wctv.tv?subject=Correction%20Needed\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Write to us here<\/a>.
