Escambia Man Convicted Of Murder In 2023 Mugs & Jugs Shooting
September 19, 2025
An Escambia County man has been convicted of a 2023 fatal shooting at the Mugs & Jugs bar.
Christian Ketchup, now 27, was convicted of the second-degree murder with a firearm of 25-year-old Tierra Binion, the mother of twins. She was found deceased in the parking lot of the establishment on August 23, 2023. He will be sentenced in November.
The incident started inside the bar between Binion and Ketchup’s girlfriend, Rachel Marine DeRise, before continuing outside.
Binion was unconscious when Derise started hitting her while she was down. Ketchup then pulled out a handgun and shot Binion several times. Court documents said 20 shell casings were found near Binion’s body, and five more casings were located across the parking lot.
Derise was charged with misdemeanor battery following the incident. She pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 60 days in county jail and 12 months probation in September 2024.

This is such an injustice. She should have been charged with murder and be in prison for the rest of her life. The killer should be on death row. FL, to my understanding, has a five year mandatory wait period for appeals before an execution, in open and shut cases such as this. One Year is plenty of time to file appeals. I also think firing squads are the most humane and least expensive way to carry out an execution. Seriously, think about it. FYI, I own no weapons, 65 y/o, retired, and a Navy Vet. This is just my opinion.
We are too soft on crime !60 days in jail and 12 months probation for beating an already unconscious woman. What kind of animal would do this ? He will be out in 15 years guaranteed. That is soft on crime. He maliciously took a life in front of GOD and everyone. He will take his timeout . It will raise his status to do time for murder.. What has has happened that this is everyday news. We are so desensitized to this kind of horror.
He knew what he was doing. Should get Life with 8 more years for use of a firearm. Then I will be over 100 and not worry about the scum getting out before that
