Security Guard Catches Escambia Murder Suspect
June 23, 2010
A security guard is being credited for the arrest of a murder suspect after a man was gunned down at an Escambia County apartment complex.
Alberto Leslie, 28, is facing a homicide charge for the Monday night shooting death of Brandon A. Stovall at the Twin Oaks Apartments in the Warrington community.
Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a shots fired disturbance at the Twin Oaks Drive apartment complex. When they arrived, they found the victim lying in the street and a Vice Security Officer holding the suspect at gunpoint. Stovall was pronounced dead on the scene by Escambia County EMS.
“According to Vice Security Officer Russell Hines, he heard gunshots and stepped outside the office which is located at the Twin Oaks Apartments. Hines stated he observed the suspect shooting the victim at which time he had the suspect get on the ground and held him at gunpoint until the arrival of deputies,” Sgt. Ted Roy, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, said in a prepared release.
Roy said investigators are still working to establish a motive, but they were advised by the suspect that the victim had been harassing him. Leslie was a resident of the apartment complex, according to jail records.
Leslie is being held in the Escambia County Jail on no bond.

Thankfully, the security guard acted fast and god this guy before he could escape. Thank you, sir. We need more people like you. I know that it is your job but you could have thought of yourself and just hidden for a moment but instead, you acted! Thank you so much for stopping this guy…..
If your apartment complex has a armed security guard, you might have a death wish. Maybe you like living with scum.
Here you go, Leslie. FTFY….. (fixed that for ya)

This thug needs a can of beard buster shaving cream and a razor! Great job to the security officer by holding the suspect at gunpoint until officers could arrive. And to the apartment complex for having “armed” security although this doesn’t sound like a place where I’d want to live if you need that.
