Escambia Man Shot After Botched Robbery Attempt

June 13, 2011

An Escambia County man was shot late Sunday night after a botched robbery attempt.

Around 9:52 p.m., deputies responded to a report of gunfire at the Sunrise Apartments, located at 4350 Fairfield Dr.
While enroute to that call, deputies were told that that a 20-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his upper leg needed assistance in a trailer park behind the Mayfair Motel.

Further investigation revealed that the man, identified as Adrian Delmarcus Hunter, attempted to rob another man in the parking lot of the Sunrise Apartment complex. During the robbery attempt Hunter shot at the victim and the victim returned fire.

Hunter was shot in the leg and fled the scene on foot. The victim, who was not identified, fled the scene in a vehicle and called deputies from the intersection of Pace Boulevard and Cervantes Street.

Hunter was transported to Baptist Hospital for treatment.

Robbery investigators are charging Hunter with robbery of an individual.

    That’s the problem with armed robbery: sometimes would-be victims shoot back.

    I hope that hot burning sting in his leg teachs him to choose a better path.
