Lawsuit over Metro PCS clerk's death settled

Man accused of killing Shelby Farah in 2013 still awaiting trial

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After Shelby Farah was shot and killed in 2013 in a robbery at the Metro PCS store on Main Street in Brentwood, the victim's mother sued Metro PCS and T-Mobile, claiming that that management was aware it was in a high-crime area and had failed to provide adequate security.

James Rhodes, who is accused in Farah's murder, is awaiting trial in a case that’s bogged down over his mental capacity and changes in Florida’s death penalty law.
