Investigation Continues After Woman, 31 And Her Boyfriend, 16, Shot
June 13, 2011
The investigation is continuing today into a shooting Saturday night in Century that injured a 31-year old woman and her 16-year old boyfriend.
About 8:30 Saturday night, deputies responded to the 7500 block of Jefferson Avenue for a reported shooting. 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 female and male victims.
The suspect was described as described as a black male of medium height with a thin build and wearing a red ball cap.
“There are a number of things we are looking at in this investigation,” said sheriff’s department spokesman Deputy Chris Welborn. “The relationship between the victims is also being looked at.”
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.
The incident remains under investigation by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office and further details have not been released.

I think most people say that because they know where it is, who it was and WHAT they are. It’s pretty simple really. 1 + 1 = 2
REGARDING:
“why everytime a crime happen in century yall say it has something to do with drugs.”
They say it because it seems reasonable to them.
Home invasion type crimes take place in homes.
Bank robberies take place in banks.
Domestic disputes take place in domiciles or with family involvement.
Speeding type crimes take place on major highways, not on 4th street.
Job related crimes take place on the job.
Drug crimes often take place on side roads such as this. Also there is the fact that other drug related crimes have already taken place near this spot in the past. People tend to see patterns.
And then, as you pointed out, there’s the fact that it took place in Century. What kinds of crimes are most commonly reported in Century?
Once again, people tend to see patterns.
Or consider shootings from one car to another, most reports of such involve drug related activity–often two dealers/gangs fighting over territory.
Sticking to the patterns.
It’s possible the whole thing sprang from a theological dispute which got out of hand but not especially probable.
It could have been love related. Jealousy is a powerful motivator, but this seems an unlikely spot to have such a dispute over love. Further, usually jealous people don’t travel in packs or shoot both parties.
If you have further information pointing to some other type of crime, you have our permission to share it. You don’t even have to rat anybody out, just suggest some other cause.
David for reason
and pattern contemplation
why everytime a crime happen in century yall say it has something to do with drugs. Smh. People a yound man was shot people and yall wanna tlk about how old his girlfriend is and it being drug related. Yall dnt kno wat goes on in the hood in century. So mind yall business and worry bout wat goes on at yo house hold.
Oh and I tried to use normal English becuase it makes a comment much easier to read and people are going to be less likely to judge when you try to at least sound educated.
@ Uptown – I cannot speak for everyone on this forum but I can say that a drive by shooting, drug houses, people going to a hospital in a completly different direction of the closest hospital…………that stuff is not surprising anymore since it happens everyday. Now a 31yo woman with a 16 yo man………that is very surprising and the fact that she is not in jail, well that just takes the cake.
REGARDING:
“why are y’all worried about how old the victim’s girl friend is?”
They suspect there may have been more than one crime committed.
They’re allowed to do more than one thing at a time.
David for multi-tasking
while answering question asked
why are yall worried about how ole the victims girl friend is. It dnt have nun to do with. This man was shot and yall dummies wanna tlk about how old his girlfriend is.
IT’S SAD THAT HE GOT SHOT BUT HIS GIRLFRIEND SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR HAVING A 16 YEAR OLD BOYFRIEND AND HIS MOM SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH CHILD NEGLECT AND/OR CHILD ENDANGERMENT , SHE IS AWARE OF HER CHILD DATING THIS OLDER WOMAN. HOPEFULLY THIS INVESTIGATION UNDERCOVER THE TRUTH AND GET ADDITIONAL PEOPLE ARRESTED.
All I have to say is …..CRAZY!
Ok, forget the drive by and drug house and whatever……….as a 34 yo female I am trying to wrap my mind around what a 16yo BOY would have to offer to me????? Just imagining it makes me throw up a little in my mouth………just sayin
A 31 year old female has absolutely no business having a 16 year old child as a boyfriend!!!!
WOW!!! 31 yr. old female with a 16 yr. old boyfriend! That’s robbing the cradle just a bit…Where are the parents of this 16 yr. old child??? Hopefully this whole investigation about everything will find the truth of it all, where as it be drug related or a jealousy thing.
The problem with alot of people is, they never think before they do their actions…
It’s not only Century with the druggies that need to be cleaned up, it’s all over. But I really do wish that they would get cleaned up and get help to stop all of these drugs.
Sure, you do the drugs and it makes you feel good maybe for a little while; but then again we’re back to the actions before thinking. These drugs are killing you people!
did i read this correctly? 31 yr old women with a 16 yr old boyfriend!! this age difference is okay now?!?! i’m sorry but thats just sick!!
You are correct, Mr David Huie Green!
I do not know if I should think of Century as cougar town or Tombstone. I wonder where these women were when I was 16?
WOW…a 31 year old with a 16 year old? that’s definitely illegal guys. but since its a woman and not a man I bet she don’t get in trouble! stupidity at its finest.
who knows could have been a jelous boyfriend or drug deal gone bad. she needs to be listed as a predator like alot of other people are.
Bob, I have to agree with you, “when stuff go down” enough said. What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty? This area is like alot of areas in our county, they were once good areas and have slowly down down hill, the elderly and poor are trapped and until it is reclaimed, things like this will happen. Hopefully innocent people will not be hurt until then. ( oh and by the way there are the so called good people who frequent the drug areas for there purchases and often the element will follow them home) hope that so called .01% doesnt show up at your house.
Wow, like alot of yall, I’m thinking the same thing, why isn’t she locked up- they are fast on arresting guys-there’s still alot on this whole matter that isn’t adding up.. either way man or woman shouldn’t been involved with a 16 year old-maybe this also had something with the shooting, again alot of this just isn’t adding up.
REGARDING:
“31 and a 16 year old boyfriend. Very interesting and she is not in jail as a child predator?”
It COULD be a completely platonic relationship. One thing is certain: charging people without testimony, complaint or evidence of wrongdoing is just wasting the court’s time.
David for assuming the unlikely best
If this was a 31 yr old man and a 16 yr oldgirl they would of treated him on scene and off to jail he would of went
Wow! 31 and a 16 year old boyfriend. Very interesting and she is not in jail as a child preditor? She was definately rocking the craddle this time. Don’t know if drugs was involved or not or was it a jealous former boyfriend or husband? The police have a lot of work to do on this one.
I hope the age difference does not get swept under the carpet becase if that was a man with a young lady of that age he would get hung! And rightfully so.
Jim for no double standards.
@Stephen…I was thinking the same thing. I was shocked at the relationship status…not the shooting or the drugs!!
I guess not. Glad I wasn’t the only one.
don’t know why a 31yr old and 16yr old are together? but it did say their relationship was bein checked into….also the other car pulled up and blocked them in and started shooting….they probably left and called somewhere else because they were scared the car would come back and block them in again and shoot at them again??? maybe they didn’t have a cell phone and had to go somewhere that they felt safe and had a phone??
you all get so judgmental(many say you try not to be..then stop doing it and writing about it!!) stop, read the facts your given, and quit adding your own ideas and creating a bigger, dramatic story!! unless you have nothing better to do, which many of you obviously don’t!)
Am I the only one that noticed it said 31 year old female and her 16 year old boyfriend?
I wonder if he is her baby’s daddy. I know she is pregnant once again……… doesn’t the free clinics still give out birth control???? Just asking, sick of supporting deadbeat folks
@what,
That is the way I read it also, 31 year old woman and her 16 year old boyfriend. Something wrong with this picture
would the people making comments on here put there last initial or last name on there comment because theres more than one person in this town with the same name……..thank you
Did I read that right??? 31 year old woman and her 16 year old boyfriend?
Why was this 31 year old woman out with a 16 year old boyfriend, I thought this was against the law, he is a minor. If it had been a 31 year old male with his 16 year old girlfriend, he would go to jail.
@MY POINT IS.. Over the years I have heard or read of hundreds of “drive by shootings”, and I honestly cannot recall the first one that occured in a nice neighborhood.. 99.99% of the time, this type of violence occurs in drug infested areas inhabited by people that for whatever reason do not cooperate with law enforcement to try and end the problem and better themselves..
I say form your own posse if you people have lived there a long time and know
each other. Get on the sheriffs tail till the deputies do their jobs. In small towns
everyone knows who the the trouble makers are, but your deputies have to care. If they won’t do their jobs (keeping the small town safe) then demand their badges,
they work for you. There are a lot of good honest people out of work right now,
someone better will take the job.
the only thing that makes em look bad is they waited around and left before calling police and for help.if they were soo inocent they would have dialed 911right then.the police need to get off their buts and clean the streets of drugs.no different than drinking&getting a dui&putting them r someone n danger.behind the dollar store n century is really bad wit drugs.lets take our neigborhoods back for our kids.they need to b safe
To my point is,
First of all you need to remake English. Second, it sounds like you know the activity around this house so, I hope you have talked to the police and done your part as a citizen of Century.
To sad,
You are right about people that do crimes are low-lifestyle
@MY POINT IS,
That whole comment was just totally embarrassing. My point is you need to go back to school.
Wow…..you really are not thinking straight if you think someone else can go over and “take” someone elses kids. Lots of drug dealers have kids and just because you want to save them, doesn’t mean you can. You would know that there are kids that live there, if you have to live near it and see the things the rest of the neighbors and I see. Not everyone turns a blind eye. As far as going over there and being associated with them no…..never have. But when you see dozens of vehicles drive up every single day and someone runs out and they exchange items….. I’m almost positive its not recipes they are exchanging! Get a clue about what life is really about.
IF YALL FEEL SO SORRY FOR THE KIDS YALL GET THEM . FAR AS I KNOW THIERS NO KIDS IN THE HOUSE . HOW WOULD YALL KNOW ITS A DRUG HOUSE. HUMMMM !!!!!!!!!! YALL MUST WAS OVER THERE GETTING YALL SOME. CENTURY IS SO MESSY DONT NOBODY KNOW THE TRUTH BUT THE PEOPLE THAT WAS THERE . SO IF YALL STOP TALKING AND GO ASK THE PEOPLE THAT GOT HURT NOT WHAT YOU HEARD.
When you read comments that say”stuff go down” I have read enough.
It is very strange that the victoms drove from one side of town to the other side of town to call for help, and why on earth didn’t the victoms go straight to the hospital, since one victom was shot? This is kind of behavior in our country is pathetic. I do hope that the shooters were caught and that the victoms are ok… Something does sound pretty fishy about this crime though…
We haven’t done a “Project Clean Sweep” up there yet? Seems to me the Druggies have just moved up there since the fools got ran out of Cottage Hill and they aren’t all gone from here either. They will call you friend and put on a good show. At the end of the day no good comes from these low-lifes, I try not to judge people but there is no other words to describe them. My prayers go to the victoms and I hope they will get away from this kind of thing. What are the undercovers doing? I hope they keep in mind some low-lifes are very well dressed and polite as you would NOT imagine….. Century is a nice place, hope we can keep it that way.
My Point Is,
That if you have such intimate knowledge about the activities in the area, then I am sure you are cooperating and communicating with police in an effort to keep your neighborhood safe.
To “My Point Is”… Knowing this house I feel very certain that this was a drug deal or possibly a disgruntled prostitution customer. The DECENT citizens of Century have been hoping to have this place policed for a long time! I am just glad that no innocent people were hurt or killed during this. If nothing is done about the “traffic” here, you can bet it won’t be long until someone does get hurt badly. Pamela, I also feel so very afraid for the children in this house.
This time it may not have been. But everyone in town knows it’s a drug house. If you deny it, you have your head in the sand…..poor kids don’t stand a chance. I feel sorry for them and the neighbors that are innocent……they are the ones that usually get hurt by all this stupidity! So MY POINT is…….truth hurts…….
WHY EVERYTIME SOMETHING HAPPEN IT HAVE TO BE ABOUT DRUGS THATS ALL YOU FOLKS THINK ABOUT . YALL MUST NEED SOME DRUGS . I STAY IN CENTURY DOWN THE ROAD FROM WHERE IT HAPPEN . UPTOWN ALL THE WAY BABY THEY WILL GET BETTER . EVERYTIME STUFF GO DOWN IN CENTURY TRUST ITS NOT OVER D.R.U.G.S .
Saw the lights driving by last night…..no surprise….that’s usually the type of things that go hand in hand with drug activity. Maybe the cops will crack down in that area before anyone else gets hurt. I pray the victims are OK and nothing like this happens again. Scary to think of what could have happened!!!
wonder why they left…I am the shooters left in a hurry too….more than meets the eye here ???
I am sure those that were shot can give more than enough information…they just have there own laws and lawmakers around Century…..I doubt that ALL were innocent…turn them in guys….next time might not be as lucky
