COVINGTON COUNTY, Ala. (WDNews) — The Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals has upheld the felony murder and burglary convictions of an Enterprise woman connected to a 2020 Covington County homicide.
Attorney General Steve Marshall announced that the court affirmed the October 2024 convictions of Brittany Head, 27, of Enterprise. Head was sentenced to life in prison for her role in the death of Micah Coon.
According to trial evidence, Head and her husband, Tyquise Jenkins, confronted Coon at a convenience store on Nov. 16, 2020. Witnesses testified that Jenkins started a fight, after which Coon went home.
Head, Jenkins, and others followed him to his residence, where Coon called 911 reporting that someone was trying to break in. Prosecutors said the group forced their way inside, and Coon was shot and killed during the confrontation.
Head testified at her trial denying involvement, but the jury rejected her claim and found her guilty of felony murder and first-degree burglary.
The Attorney General’s Criminal Appeals Division defended the case on appeal, with the convictions upheld on Aug. 15, 2025. Marshall commended Assistant Attorney General John J. Davis, as well as Covington County District Attorney Walt Merrell and his staff, for their work on the case.
