‘Killer’ Charged With Shooting Into House After Victim Stole Crack
January 2, 2012
A Cantonment man is behind bars after allegedly shooting into a house in an incident that began when he claimed he took $40 worth of crack cocaine from his dealer — known as “Killer”.
Brad Tamarcus Tucker, 27, was booked into the Escambia County Jail late last week on charges of firing a firearm into a dwelling, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, using a firearm during the commission of felony and intimidation of a witness. He remained in jail early Monday morning with bond set at $550,000.
The charges were related to a January 10, 2011 incident in which Billy Earl Grantham III of Cantonment told Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputies that he attempted to buy crack cocaine from a dealer he knew only as “Killer”. Grantham told deputies that he was in the car with “Killer” when he took $40 in crack without the money to pay for it.
Grantham told deputies that he exited the car, with “Killer” following him — and threatening to kill him. Grantham then went inside his home in the 1100 block of Kathleen Avenue. About 20 minutes later, someone fired at least two rounds into his home.
Grantham’s friend told deputies he saw “Killer” stand in Grantham’s driveway and fire three times with a semi-automatic handgun. The friend told deputies that he knew “Killer” lived on Lake Drive in Cantonment. Both Grantham and his friend identified “Killer” has being Tucker from a photo lineup, according to an arrest report.

That crackhead did get sentenced he’s in jail now and he testified on behalf of my mom and dad because that’s the house the guy known as killer shot at.. Luckly no one was home. I also heard killer has a good family and just went down the wrong road like my son. things happen but until it happens to you or someone you love you don’t really thinik about it , just wish they would all go away.
Mr. David,
I agree!
REGARDING:
“Very nice headline….calling a crackhead that robbed someone a victim…..lol priceless.”
It’s possible to be both a perpetrator of crimes and a victim of criminal acts. In fact it is quite common, yet another reason to consider avoiding criminal activity.
David for living long and prospering
I agree so did the crackhead get charged? It does plainly state that was what he was doing…pssshh amazing how somebody might be faceing serious time over a junkie say so..woow will be keeping up with this to see what happens..and as far as not knowing there was a shooting in your neighborhood..hum..probllly never even happen..hummm scam U county!!!!!
Extremism at it finest might I say. Just shows how stupid these drugs will make people and might I add they walk amoung us every day. Scarey thought I tell ya.
i think it is good that another person that is a danger to the public is behind bars
Very nice headline….calling a crackhead that robbed someone a victim…..lol priceless.
How reliable is the crackhead’s “friend” anyway?? Sounds like two drug addicts robbed thier drug dealer and then called the police on him so they didn’t have to pay him. HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!!!!!!
It is not hard to believe that the crackheads would shoot thier own house to save $40 bucks. They will almost electrocute themselves to death trying to steal copper from an ac unit for $20 dollars.
And I’m curious to know if the crackhead was charged with trying to buy crack??
Lake Drive? Hard to believe…
I live in the Gonzalez area near Lake Dr and I can’t wait for the Sheriff’s ofc to conduct it’s clean sweep operation here this year. It seems as though a lot of crime in and around the Pensacola area originates with the residents of Lake Dr.
Billy? The strange guy who sometimes stays on our street with his grand parents? Brad shot into their house and no one on our street mentioned a shooting? Too bad there isn’t a place around like Australia anymore where all the repeat offenders would have to exist.
