In Vero Beach, Florida, a routine eviction turned into a fatal shooting. On November 21, 2025, deputies from the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office arrived at a gated home in the Bermuda Club neighborhood to carry out a court-ordered eviction.
Deputy Terri Sweeting‑Mashkow, a 25‑year veteran, was fatally shot inside the home. Sheriff Eric Flowers described the incident as “indiscriminate firing” by the eviction target.
Another deputy, Florentino “Tino” Arizpe, was wounded in the shoulder and has since begun recovering.
A locksmith, later identified as 76‑year-old David Long, was critically injured during the shooting.
