Two Arrested In Escambia Bar Murder, Robbery Case
October 30, 2009
Two people have been arrested in connection with an October 23 robbery and murder at a Pensacola bar.
Brandon Donnell Davis, 20, of Pensacola, turned himself in to authorities Thursday afternoon. He was named a person of interest in the case earlier this week. Also charged in the case is David Henry Gilchrist, Jr., 20, of Pensacola. He was arrested at his Mayfair area home just before 7 p.m. Thursday. Both suspects were charged with felony murder and robbery. They are being held in the Escambia County Jail without bond.
At about 1:30 Friday morning October 23, two black males entered the Oakcrest Bar on Fairfield Drive in Pensacola. “Once inside, both subjects displayed weapons, during the course of the robbery one of the customers was fatally shot,” Sgt. Ted Roy, public information officer for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, said.
The victim was identified as Jared Ortiz, 24, of Pensacola. An undisclosed amount of money was taken during the robbery.

It’s not what goes in a man that makes him unclean but it’s what comes out of a man that makes him unclean.
The tongue is a powerful thing.
Im glad these two killers are off the street.Sad thing about it is that they will be just going home to be with their thug friends.three meals a day and free room and board from now on.The just punishment for this pair is a single slug to the head, unlike the victim they should have to see it coming!.A.W.

i believe that “op/ed” refers to the “opinion/editorial” section of the newspaper…years ago, i agreed to take the PNJ…..as they said that it would be delivered right to my door….as it turns out, they wouldnt go down the mile long dirt road to deliver it, rather it was placed into my mailbox on the main highway…consequently, i discontinued it….but, all for the best, im sure…its too much of a liberal newspaper for my taste…
“pc” , means political correctness..example pensacola news journal will not say black males robbed bar..
sad
Robert:
I guess I’m just a hick from a small town with a newspaper that doen’t meet your expectations and with more crime than you find acceptable for a city the size of Pensacola. So, please help me out here, what does “PC” and “Op/Ed” mean?
EMD seems to know what “PC” means so he must be really smart too or maybe he moved here from somewhere else like you did. I don’t know, but, whatever “PC” is it must either be really bad or really hard to spell. Please let me know, so I can use it in the future an sound really cool like you’ ll do.
I am so glad to hear someone else who thinks that the PNJ is whacko for not putting descriptions of fugitives out, due to pc. It is so unbelievably ridiculous.
I’m glad they got these two scumbags. Too bad they couldn’t have been taken out in an armed stand off – that would save tax payers some money.
Death Penalty Please !!!
(if they’re convicted)
Thank you for your fine coverage of this horrible crime.
Robt, you should’ve stayed put, because crime, especially teen/youth crime, is totally out of control in the larger cities. I live in rural Alabama, and even we have experienced an increase in crime; certainly nothing like what you hear on the news or read in the papers/internet, (thank goodness!), but the criminals are getting younger by the minute and somehow they all seem to have guns. Well, except for the fool who tried to hold up the Flomaton Subway. . . .with his finger!!
These two savages need to be strung up tomorrow. I moved to Pensacola to get away from crime, not to become the potential target of low life scum like these two baboons.
Thank your staff for having the decency and common sense to put a description of these two animals in your articles. The PC smothered PNJ has not evolved quite enough intellectually yet to realize that a description is almost always a requisite to capture. I have to assume the majority of the staff still thinks OJ is innocent and their biases prevent their objectivity which when you think about it is the only thing that separates a newspaper from 40 pages of Op/Ed.
Nice work!!!
