Escambia Man Gets Life In Prison For 1996 Murder
May 6, 2011
An Escambia County man was sentenced to life in prison Thursday by Judge Jan Shackelford.
Kevin Jordan was convicted April 21 of first degree murder by an Escambia County Jury for the shooting death of Samuel Palmer in 1996. Palmer was shot and killed during a botched robbery attempt at a home on Luke Street near Catholic High School.
The case remained unsolved until 2005 when information surfaced that Kevin Jordan was involved, according to State Attorney Bill Eddins. In 2009, the Jordan confessed that he was involved in the attempted robbery of Palmer, however he claimed he was not the actual shooter. Jordan told investigators that Allen English fired the shot that killed Palmer. Allen English died in federal prison in 1999.
Jordan had previously been convicted on 20 felony offenses.
