Two Injured In Escambia Shooting

July 11, 2011

Two Escambia County men were injured this afternoon in a shooting in the Mayfair community.

The shooting occurred in the area of Belair Road and Rochelle Drive at around 12:59 p.m. Monday.

Shortly after the shooting, two men showed up at the Sacred Heart Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. One suffered a gunshot wound to the head, the other suffered gunshot wounds to the legs.

Deputies identified the men as Rayford Richardson III, 21, and Kamarcus Ldryan Jones, 20 (picture not available).

According to deputies Richardson and Jones were riding to the hospital in a 2010 Jeep Cherokee when it ran off the road on Bayou Boulevard near Springfield Street. The two were then picked up and driven to the hospital by a passing motorist.

Deputies seized a large amount of crack cocaine, marijuana and cash that was located in the vehicle.

“The investigation into the shooting is ongoing,” said Deputy Chris Welborn, Sheriff’s Office spokesman. “But the victims and witness are not cooperating and are refusing to assist us.”

Charges are pending against both the victims and a witness in this case, according to Welborn.

Anyone who may have information related to this case is asked to contact the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at 850-436-9620 or Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

    Hope the SD seized the vehicle also. Maybe sell it to help pay the hospital bills

    When drugs and guns go together, it is no wonder people are shot, killed or wounded. At least there weren’t any children involved this time.

    I think the Government should sponsor free marksmanship training for this community, so they stop wounding each other with poor shooting. Let them kill themselves off and do the world a favor.

    These roads are in the Montclair community not Mayfair. But still all the same problems.
