Pensacola Recording Artist Struck, Killed By Brewton Woman

March 26, 2011

(Updated) A Brewton woman was involved in a crash that killed a  R&B recording artist in Pensacola Friday night.

The Florida Highway Patrol said Kimberly Dawn Parker, 29, was traveling on Olive Road near East Johnson Avenue when she was unable to see a 76-year old Lattimore Brown  of Pensacola crossing the road in dark clothing about 8:15 p.m.

Brown  was pronounced dead at the scene. Brown was a fixture on the R&B “chitlin circuit” in the 1960’s, mostly reaching audiences in and around the Gulf Coast.

No charges have been filed against Parker as the accident remains under investigation.

    It’s a shame to have had such a legend in our area & not have known it.
    Prayers go out for both families.
