May 1, 2011
(Updated 3:30 p.m.) A woman was shot outside a Highway 29 convenience store this morning, and a North Escambia man is been questioned as a suspect.
Jennifer E. Gilbert, 22, of Pensacola, was shot outside the Circle K and Wendy’s on Highway 29 at Kingsfield Road just after 9 a.m. She was shot in the head while seated in her car. Gilbert reportedly did not work at the store or restaurant.
Reports early Sunday afternoon indicated that Gilbert had died, but a press release issued by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office mid-afternoon Sunday indicated that she remained in critical condition.
Sheriff’s investigators are questioning 30-year old Isreal Marell Taylor of Bateson Lane, Cantonment, as a suspect in the case, according to the Sheriff’s Office news release.
More details will be posted when they are released by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

I no Isreal very well an wish i had gotten to know Jennifer better.We only spoke a few times on the phone. Maybe if we had gotten to know each other better she would have took my warning more serious. I know for a fact Isreal is very well capable of doing this…How ya may ask cause we were together for awhile… It ended with him goin to jail for beating me an fauls inprisonment. I hope Escambia County puts this monster away so he can no longer bring harm to any other innocent people. I pray God be with Jennifer’s framily and friends.
i know him too and i know he couldnt have done it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can not believe my eyes!! some people never change! although i do not know jennifer or her family i send my condolences out to her family.. i do not know jennifer but i do know the man in question and there is in my mind without a doubt he did this.. do not let him get away.. he needs to pay for his crimes.. he may try to munipulate people into thkn hes innocent but i know what he is capable of..
