Shannon Paul Brewer told sheriff’s investigators this morning he killed a Lauderdale County man Monday night at a residence near Zip City, authorities said.

They said Brewer made the statement as investigators interviewed him at the Leon County Sheriff’s Office in Tallahassee, Fla.

Brewer, 24, 7876 Lauderdale 200, Florence, and his 25-year-old brother, Jerry Lee Brewer, reportedly fled to Florida shortly after Mark Allen Dishon was stabbed to death Monday night, authorities said.

“They both gave us statements admitting their roles,” said Lauderdale County sheriff’s investigator Richard Richey, who is heading the investigation. “Shannon told us he killed (Dishon) and about the events that led up to it.”

Shannon Brewer has been charged with murder and Jerry Brewer, 1402 S.W. Eighth St., Sheffield, faces charges of first-degree theft of property for reportedly stealing a 2001 Toyota Sequoia that they used on the trip to Florida.

They were apprehended by U.S. Marshals agents in Tallahassee about 14 hours after the attack.

Dishon, 49, was stabbed numerous times and his body was found in a small room at his residence at 64 Lauderdale 638.
