Escambia Murder Under Investigation

March 18, 2012

An overnight murder in Escambia County is under investigation.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a fight at the Oakwood Terrace Apartments off Truman Avenue about 1 a.m Sunday. They did not find anyone hurt at the apartments.

But someone had driven 22-year-old Shernique Kemp to Sacred Heart Hospital where she died from multiple stab wounds. Authorities said she received the injuries in the Oakwood Terrace fight.

Kemp was a resident of Merito Street, several miles from Oakwood Terrace. Deputies are not sure who stabbed her, and their investigation is continuing.

    I feel they should make the young lady respondable miss out on her life just like she took the Kemps girl life with no remorse and she should mentaly suffer and it should weigh on her heart for the rest of her days (no peace in her life,no life

    It is sad that this young lady lost her life when she just started to live it. The reputation of income based housing seems 2 b getting worse. They already make us out 2 b animals and when senseless things like this happen it only makes such stereotypes seem true. My prayers go out to the family and justice goes out to the person who caused it. May God have mercy on our generation.

    That is so sad how our young people are dying because of this unnecessary violence. I will keep the Kemp family in my prayers.
