Records and Bodycam Trace Manhunt After Ponte Vedra Walgreens Double Killing as Suspect Held Without Bond

New records describe a confrontation over suspected infidelity at the Walgreens parking lot.

Overview

  • Two people were fatally shot around 10:30 p.m. Friday in the Walgreens lot across from TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra in what investigators describe as a domestic-violence incident.
  • Suspect Christian Barrios, 32, fled, allegedly stole a BMW, was forced off the road by a PIT maneuver in Nassau County, and was arrested just before 8 a.m. Saturday after a K9 search.
  • Barrios is charged with two counts of first-degree murder plus related felonies, is being held without bond, and faces charges in both St. Johns and Nassau counties.
  • An arrest warrant says he went to confront his girlfriend and a man he believed she was seeing, and he later contacted a friend without making admissions about the shooting.
  • Nassau County released bodycam video showing the U.S. 1 pursuit, a crash near County Road 108 and Middle Road, and the wooded-area search that ended in custody as prosecutors review evidence.
