Matthew Driggers, 44, was shot and killed during a family gathering at a home on North Columbus Street in Beverly Hills, Florida, on December 29, 2022. Deputies from the Citrus County Sheriff’s Office arrived about 2:45 p.m. and found him with a single gunshot wound to the head; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say 20-year-old Sammantha Danielle Driggers shot her uncle with a firearm. Witnesses reported she remained inside the home when deputies arrived; she was taken into custody and later charged with second-degree murder and held on $500,000 bond. Initial reports indicate no immediate altercation or argument before the shooting, and Sammantha allegedly told authorities she believed her uncle was going to harm her grandmother.

The motive remains unclear and the legal process is ongoing. Does anyone have information about the household or the events that led up to that afternoon’s gathering?
