Escambia Man Gets 30 Years For Lounge Killing
February 25, 2011
An Escambia County man was sentenced Thursday to 30 years in state prison for a lounge shooting in October, 2009.
Brandon Davis pleaded guilty to second degree murder and robbery with a firearm. Judge Michael Allen sentenced Davis to 30 years in state prison with a 20 year minimum mandatory.
On October 23, 2009, Jared Ortiz, was seated at the Oakcrest Lounge when Marvin Jamel Smith and Brandon Davis entered. Smith fired a shot as they entered that struck Ortiz in the back of the head, killing him instantly, according to State Attorney Bill Eddins.
Davis could have received life in prison, but cooperated with prosecutors and testified as a witness against Smith. Smith was found guilty of killing Ortiz in January and sentenced to life in prison.

so the one he killed was guilty of lying because he was in the lounge at the time? Well, I guess he needed killing in cold blood, then.
