Man Charged With Murdering Teen
September 10, 2011
A 22-year old has been arrested in connection with an early Friday morning shooting in Escambia County that left a 17-year old dead and another person injured.
Jeremy Cornell Rand has been charged with the murder of Deiante Elijah Graham. Rand has also been charged with attempted murder of a 16-year-old female that was shot along
with Graham. Her injuries are not life threatening and she is expected to recover, according to authorities.
The incident happened about 3 a.m. at the Royal Crest Apartments at 190 Old Corry Field Road.
“Initial reports stated that a vehicle was parked in the complex and was occupied by two females and one male. They were approached by another unknown male and after an exchange
of words, the unknown male pulled out a gun and began firing into the vehicle,” said Sgt. Mike Ward, public information officer for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
After the shooting, the vehicle was driven to the entrance of the Twin Oaks Villas Apartments at 4600 Twin Oaks Drive. Once deputies arrived, they found 17–year old Graham dead from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. One female suffered a non-life threatening gunshot and was transported to a local hospital. The second female in the vehicle was not injured.
The case remains under investigation by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

REGARDING:
“Take the guns from the criminals and I will give you mine! ”
The danger with that thought is that — even ignoring the fact that criminals cheat and don’t follow the rules or laws — you leave the big and mean with the ability to terrorize smaller and weaker decent people with clubs and knives and other tools.
A properly used gun is a great equalizer. Any imporoperly used tool is a bad thing.

If the incarceration rate, could only exceed the replacement rate.
Fly High , I lovee youu ♥
R.I.P Lil D-man I miss you bruh
First of all if you didn’t know this young man you shouldn’t make negative comments and assume anything! My nephew was very very close to him and he lost a dear friend today on his birthday to top it off! Think about the family who lost a brother, son, nephew, cousin and a teammate or friend! My heart goes out to his family!
Here we go again…DRUGS ??…JEALOUSY??…GUNS….DEATH…LIVES RUINED
Sounds like the story ..last week…the week before… and before and before
Same story line same results…it will not end….who is next ????
Deiante was one of the sweetest students that I have ever had the joy to teach in the 22 years that I have worked at EHS. His smile would light up a room!! He always had a positive attitude and worked hard to do his best. I loved watching him walk down the hall with his friends, with his huge smile and wonderful personality. Anyone that knew him couldn’t have an ill word against him…. I am sure of that! The comments made from people on the PNJ website really made me sick. He was loved by friends, family and those who had the pleasure to know him. To his family, I am so very sorry for your loss.
Dman you will be missed. People these days are nuthing but thugs. I didn’t know you much off the feild but you where a hell of a player and we are never going to forget that. You will always B remembered and NEVER forgotten.
YEAH, I’LL PUT A SIGN UP IN MY YARD-COME ON MAKE MY DAY AND MY 357 WILL END YOUR DAY…….KEEP YOUR GUNS FOLKS….. IT TAKES A FINGER TO PULL A TRIGGER, ITS DIRT BAGS WHO MAKES THE WRONG CHOICE NOT THE GUNS…………………………………………………….
Take the guns from the criminals and I will give you mine! To you who think different, wait til your house is broken into and your family is murdered. Maybe raped if you are lucky! I own guns a plenty and know how to use one! My family shed their blood for this country to protect my frredom. I will not let them have died in vain! God bless America and guns!
We all lovee and miss yhu D-man . You’ll be in all of our hearts , Even though you aren’t here anymoree I still consider you as good as familyy , Through out Elementary School, Middle School, and 9th gradee year, we were closee .And I miss yhu <3 , This is un-real to me. Throughout our ups and downs, iloveeyhu ! Justice will be served ! And for that I smilee for you ! You are forever in everyone's heart , I'm sure that there isn't onee person who won't miss you.
Rest in peace we will never forget you
with Jeremy Cornell Rand’s history I would bet this is just another drug deal.
meeting a thug at 3 AM anywhere is not a good Idea
Nina , set an example for us
Disarm yourself and put signs at your home that you do not believe in the 2nd amendment and your home is firearm free
IT ANGERS ME SO MUCH WHEN PEOPLE START SAYING THAT NONSENSE ABOUT “GET RID OF GUNS” WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!!!!
I AM HEAVILY ARMED AND A FEMALE AND I GUARANTEE U NINA AND OTHERS LIKE U IF SOMEONE BROKE INTO YOUR HOME U WOULD BE WISHING U HAD A GUN TO PROTECT YOURSELF BUT THE TIME THE COPS CAN GET THERE U WILL ALREADY BE DEAD.
COPS WILL BE THE FIRST ONES TO TELL U TO ARM YOURSELF!! THEY CANT BE IN YOUR POCKET 24/7.
OBVIOUSLY U DONT LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD.
ALSO LIKE THE OTHER COMMENTER STATED WHAT ABOUT KNIVES, BATS, ETC. ARM YOURSELVES PEOPLE IT ISNT SAFE ANYWHERE ANYMORE!!
Nina……..it is NOT the guns that kill. It is the ignorant, stupid people that hold them!! It is the responsibility of a person that owns a firearm to use it the right way.
If you have a bulldog that kills a cat, then do you abolish all bulldogs?
Because people choose to rob, kill, destroy, and destruct, our country is a mess, and I for one WILL continue to own a gun in order to protect myself and MY FAMILY from all the above.
This is so sad to hear, and even sadder that there will be many more stories like this one. I say it time and time again……….It begins in the home at birth, MOST OF THE TIME!
In response to Nina’s comment of: “Get rid of those guns”.
Would you rather they murder with knives? How about bats…or rocks?
A gun didn’t kill anyone, the thug behind the trigger did. A gun is an inanimate object…a tool, just like a hammer or a crowbar.
You want to get rid of something? Let’s get rid of crack cocaine.
PLEASE Stop This Madness. A young man has lost his life, his family will never be the same. Get rid of those guns.
R.I.P D-Man We will miss you!!!!!
R.I.P D-man iima hold it down for you lil cousin
This is so sad.
