Deputies Seek Suspects In Escambia County Shooting
April 27, 2011
An Escambia County man was injured Tuesday evening in a shooting and deputies are trying to identify suspects.
James Edward Taylor, 58, was shot at about 6:15 p.m. during an altercation with two others.
Deputies were called to the 2700 block of West Maxwell Street for the shooting. When they arrived, they were told that the Taylor had been driven to Baptist Hospital by a friend.
Witnesses told deputies that Taylor was arguing with two other men when one of them pulled a gun and fired two rounds, one of which struck Taylor in the left leg. Both men then fled on foot.
The suspects were described as black males with one wearing a purple shirt and white pants and the other wearing a white shirt and dark pants.
Taylor, who was being treated for minor injuries at the hospital, told deputies that he would not be able to positively identify any suspects.
Anyone with information about this case is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

Yes you can’t help but wonder. It’s hard to believe someone who was shot
would not be able to identify. There is also the possibility it was over something
that nobody wants to admit.
Causes one to wonder if this is a case of the mentality that prohibits one from squeeling on the perps, even when that one is on the receiving end of the perps socially unacceptable behavior!
