Search Continues For Suspect In Century Shooting

June 18, 2011

The investigation is continuing into a double shooting one week ago in Century that injured a 31-year old woman and her 16-year old boyfriend. So far, there have been no arrests in the case.

The shooting happened about 8:30 last Saturday night, June 11, in the 7500 block of Jefferson Avenue in Century. Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies were told by a 31-year-old female victim that she and her 16-year-old boyfriend were shot as they were sitting in a vehicle in front of a residence.

The victims said that another vehicle, possibly a dark colored Hyundai, pulled in behind them and blocked them in. One of the occupants then exited the suspect vehicle and began shooting, injuring both the male and female.

The suspect was described as a black male of medium height with a thin build and wearing a red ball cap.

The victims left the area and drove to the 9500 block of Ivey Street to call 911. The male victim was transported by private vehicle to Jay Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The female victim was transported by ambulance after being questioned by deputies. Her injuries were also non-life threatening.

Investigators are also looking at the relationship between the 31-year old woman and 16-year old boy, according to Chris Welborn, spokesperson for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

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.

    REGARDING:
    “isn’t that enough grounds to arrest her for being a sexual predator or something”

    You really have to prove they have had sexual relations first, not just assume it.

    Come on now!!!!!!!!! 16 years old …. That sounds like a spur’o'the’moment story for the police …. ‘NAW SIR. HE AIN’T MY DOPE CONTACT HE’S MY BOYFRIEND…. YEAH, YEAH …. SURE IS.’ ……..HORSEFEATHERS ! ! ! ! !……… And even with that lame story, why wasn’t anything said about it … isn’t that enough grounds to arrest her for being a sexual preditor or something… What is wrong with people today? … and I mean on both sides of things. Things keep getting worse because we allow it to. I’m gonna hope that charges are pending. What is next?
