Two Arrested, One Hospitalized After Shooting In Pensacola
September 18, 2012
Two men were arrested and another hospitalized after a late night shooting Monday that occurred in the area of Tarragona and Hernandez streets in Pensacola
Ulysses Samuel Jr. (pictured), 34, of the 700 block of Fowler Avenue, and Aquarius Devaughn, 17, of the 2500 block of North Seventh Avenue, were both charged with possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
Meanwhile, a 20-year-old male is hospitalized in stable condition. The man was sitting in a car in the 2000 block of North Tarragona Street when he was shot, said Pensacola Police Detective James Reese.
Officer Patrick Burns was on patrol when he heard several shots fired in the area of North Hayne and Jordan streets. As he continued patrolling the area, he saw a truck leaving the area at a high rate of speed.
Burns followed the truck throughout the area until it came to a stop at Tarragona and Lakeview streets where the driver got out, ran and threw down a gun. Another passenger also fled from the truck.
Samuel and Devaughn were taken into custody by Burns and Officer Jeffry Cain where the truck stopped. Officers recovered three guns while searching the area of the shooting and the victim’s car.
Reese said the investigation is continuing; a motive is not yet known.
The Gun Crime Response Team was activated.
Anyone having information on this incident is asked to contact the Pensacola Police Department at (850) 435-1900.

Your close mick. But why feed and house someone with no respect for anything,including themselves, put them AWAY!
Felons with guns, no intent to live within the law, quit wasting time and resources, put them away for life and be done with it…
Gee, I highly doubt this was drug related.
