Authorities have released more details about the Saturday night shooting death of a man involved in a home invasion in Kinsey and have stated that the shooter will not face criminal charges.
Jimmy Proctor, 38, of Headland, was shot and killed by Mikel G. Fredrickson, 43, after Proctor broke into a home in Kinsey where Fredrickson and Proctor’s ex-girlfriend were staying, according to police.
According to Houston County Sheriff Andy Hughes, Proctor had made several calls to the residence before showing up at about 11:30 p.m. Saturday. Proctor broke out a window in a door and turned a knob to get into the home. Once inside he made threatening remarks to his ex-girlfriend; her children, who were present; and to Fredrickson. Proctor confronted Fredrickson in the bathroom of the residence’s master bedroom, Hughes said.
Hughes said Fredrickson was armed with a pistol and warned Proctor to back off, but Proctor charged him. Fredrickson shot Proctor once in the leg, but Proctor kept coming. Fredrickson then shot Proctor three more times, including a shot to the face.
Hughes said Fredrickson acted in self-defense and will not be charged in Proctor’s death.
“He was pretty much in the right,” Hughes said.
According to Hughes, Proctor and his ex-girlfriend, who was not identified by law enforcement, have a history of domestic conflict. Hughes also said that beer was found in Proctor’s vehicle after the shooting. Hughes said an autopsy will determine whether Proctor was drunk at the time of the confrontation Saturday.
Proctor’s previous criminal history includes arrests for domestic violence, violation of protection orders and theft of property.
Hughes said that although he anticipates filing no criminal charges in the shooting, the matter remains under investigation.
