Escambia Man Gets Life In Prison For 2023 Mugs & Jugs Murder
November 19, 2025
An Escambia County man was sentenced Wednesday morning to life in prison for a 2023 fatal shooting at the Mugs & Jugs bar.
Christian Ketchup, now 27, was convicted in September 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.
As part of his sentence, Ketchup was ordered to pay $7,500 for the victim’s compensation trust fund.
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.

He got what he deserved but she didn’t. The “What goes around, comes around” rule is in effect now. That’s a fact of life.
In my opinion, there should be no difference between 2nd degree and 1st degree murder. A murder is a murder whether planned in advance or spur of the moment. Florida law requires a grand jury in 1st degree cases but not 2nd degree cases.
Derise was an accessory before and after the fact to (at least) 2nd degree murder. She better be on her knees turning her life around.
Great job Prosecutors for Ketchup’s conviction. Derise should have had a harsher punishment. She had the opportunity to walk away, situation escalated when she got her boyfriend involved. Some justice was served for Tierra.
And all she got was a misdemeanor? She should be rotting in prison beside him.
