Man Charged With Murder After Beating Victims Dies
August 3, 2010
Escambia County has recorded its 14th murder of the year after a man beaten last Thursday passed away Tuesday morning.
Donald Stanley Verne, 49, is facing in open count of murder for the death of his landlord, Peter Delmonico, 51. Delmonico died about 12:05 a.m. Tuesday, according to Sgt. Ted Roy, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. Verene (pictured) allegedly struck Delmonico in the head with a piece of lumber about 6:30 p.m. on July 29 at his Queens Court home, near Old Corry Field Road.
Authorities reported finding blood on Verne’s clothes and a blood-stained piece of lumber in Verne’s mobile home, which he rented from Delmonico.
Verne is due to appear in court on August 9. He remains in the Escambia County Jail with no bond.

I have never known Donnie to steal ANYTHING..He would of given a person the shirt off his back…I don’t and may never know what happened that night in Pete”s house,but the two of them have been friends for years ..The news and some of you people have made Donnie look like some one that came off the street and Pete just took him in..That is so false..Donnie was not homeless and one thing he did do was work hard for what little he did have..AND one thing you can be certain is he paid his rent…So before some of you start making untrue statements find out the truth first.!My heart breaks for both famlies …
I HAVE NEVER KNOWN DON TO STEAL ANYTHING… I STAYED IN HIS HOME MANY TIMES…
DON WAS A FRIEND OF MINE AS WELL AS PETE..DON WOULD GIVE YOU THE SHIRT OFF YOUR BACK…I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED…DON WAS NOT HOMELESS..HE WORKED ODD JOBS TO PAY HIS RENT…SUCH SADNESS FOR THEM BOTH…
Mr.Verne and Mr.Delmonico have known each other sence the 90’s ….So please dont make it sound as though Mr.Verne was only a tenant to Pete…Yes Peter was kind enought to let Donald live there,but they have known each other for years!!!!Hiow would you know Mr.Verne was caught stealing were you there????Thats how stories get around!!!!
My husband works with Delmonicos ex-brother-in-law…..actually the guy was homeless and Peter was nice enough to let him live in his mobile home behind his house. That Verne guy was caught in Peter’s house stealing and he hit him in the head with a 2×4…..how sad…….Prayers go out to Peter’s family…..sometimes it doesn’t pay to help people out
REGARDING:
“I like to think it’s not in the N. Escambia area.”
“Queens Court home, near Old Corry Field Road.”
It’s southern North Escambia. We’re expanding.

How sad, what is our world coming to? AND it is NOT getting any better.
What do you want to bet this guy was behind in his rent.
It’s the first of the month.
Or maybe it was drugs
Somebody died over what ever it was.
Very Very Sad
Mary – who cares? It is the 14th murder in the county (including NORTH END), I’d say it is news.
What part of the Pensacola area did this happen?? I like to think it’s not in the N. Escambia area.
What makes people do these things?There had to be a better solution.Maybe the people who do things like this is just pure evil.What a shame.
