November 23, 2010
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office has named Aaron Cornelius Mitchell, 20, as a suspect in a Friday night homicide of Prentiss Mitchell. A warrant charging Mitchell with felony murder has been issued, according to Deputy Chris Welborn, spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office.
Mitchell is wanted in connection with the shooting death of Prentiss Mitchell, 20, about 9:20 Friday night at The Moorings apartments in the 8000 block of Old Spanish Trail Road, near East Olive Road and Scenic Highway. The two men are not related.

A 1998 Honda registered to Aaron Mitchell was found at an address near West Brainerd street and North S Street about 4 p.m. Monday. Investigators said the exterior of the car appeared to have bullet holes, but they did not release any further information.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Aaron Mitchell is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

(EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON)
This is a heart breaking situation. No one is innocent here. Everyone is guilty for something, even the dead. We should be thankful for what we got and accept simplicity for life. We need more jobs, so our young ones can become more productive and involved with the community. This behavior shouldn’t be accepted as normal. Teen pregnancy has been accepted as normal and now its an epidemic
Man he was my cousin now he gone
man another friend gone . its sad too man he was just visiting his cousins then leave to come back later an before he could even think about comin back he is gone . R.I.P.
Maybe Amanda.. Hopefully for this young mans life you are correct, but being he is no where to be found by the SO then it’s not a good show on his part?
I don’t know about this one. I went to high school with Aaron, he was always such a kind hearted person. I couldn’t imagine him EVER having anything to do with this. I think it may just be a case of stumbling in the wrong place at the wrong time.
>>>>>It would be nice if there were a photograph available
The Sheriff’s Office has not released a photo, as of early Monday morning.
It would be nice if there were a photograph available…
… knowing William though, if there were one it would be in the story.
Same last name, same age.
dang my dogg gone he was 2 cool 4 school………….
Same last name…are they related?
I have an idea. Arrest these thugs,take them into custody,keep them 24 hours. Upon leaving issue each one with a 38 midnight special and 100 round of ammo. They will surely return to where they came from and elininate some more just like them. In due time the crime rate will begin to fall like you wouldn’t believe.
A bad situation thats not getting better. There are lots of retired persons as well as children living at that apartment complex. Greatful none of them were hurt.
al. or fl.
Florida
We are in Florida, so if we refer to just “Escambia County”, it’s always Florida. If it’s in Alabama, we use “Escambia County (Ala.)”.
