Two Escambia Men Indicted In Double Shooting Near Baptist Hospital
January 12, 2012
A grand jury has indicted two Escambia County men in the shootings of two 17-year olds outside Baptist Hospital last December.
James Dortch and Novel Austin were both indicted for first degree murder in the death of Keondrick Abrams and the attempted murder of Tykey Douglas.
On December 17, Abrams was found dead from a gunshot wound to the head in a car parked at the Baptist Hospital Sleep Disorders Clinic. Douglas, who was also shot in the head, survived his injury and helped lead police to arrest Dortch and Austin.
Dortch and Austin are scheduled to be arraigned on January 19.
The investigation was conducted by the Pensacola Police Department.
