Escambia County Murder Under Investigation
October 22, 2012
A murder is under investigation after a man was found shot to death off Highway 29 in Escambia County Monday night.
Investigators said Labar Cardarlyo Brown, 25, was killed in what they believe to a drug related case. His body was discovered after Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shots fired call about 5:30 p.m. in the 6800 block of Tiki Lane, just south of Burgess Road.
Deputies responded to Tiki Lane again about 10:45 p.m. to a second report of shots fired. Deputies “found evidence of a firearms discharge”, the Sheriff’s Office. There were no injuries reported in the second shots fired incident.
There have been no arrests in either incident.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Gulf Coast Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP or the Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620.

It has been a few days and already this is almost forgot about I know some people might just see this as a drug crime but the truth is this was a good guy and his killer needs to be found. If the killer could kill like this they can and probably will again so this is really a problem for everyone cause the next person that gets killed could be anyone.
@ JJ you are right this was a nice young man he was very caring and to be such a young man he understood that being a parent is always first. I am so sorry for his family and their loss.
R.I.P. Labar, a good man, father, and friend. We love you, gone but never forgotten
I hope they find this shooter soon before someone else is killed for anyone who saw anything all you have to do is call crime stoppers noone will know who told and you can get some money as it looks who ever killed him needs to be told on I will pray they find this monster soon.
For everyone crying where is the law: just a thought, the sheriff/police do not really stop the crime. All they can do is go in afterwards and try to find the suspect(s). It is up to parents to teach their children not to break the law in the first place. But, if anyone knows when a crime “is about to happen” I am sure the law would love to have a call so they can be there to stop it.
My 3 point plan for avoiding being murdered:
1. Don’t sell drugs. Drug dealers get robbed (and sometimes killed). It’s a hazard of their occupation.
2. Don’t buy drugs. See number 1 for details.
3. Don’t date/marry mentally unstable people. If you think they are crazy… they probably are, stay away from them.
I would bet that better than 90% of this county’s homicides can be attributed to one of the above. What’s your opinion?
Why blame the cops? They can’t stop a crime they don’t know about. They can investigate if you know and report it. If you know someone is going to commit a crime and report it, then the cops can something. I don’t agree with everything the police do, but I can’t blame them for everything that happens out in the world.
Actually, Florida Does Not parole prisoners…mostly.
Inmates who were sentenced prior to the abolishment of parole are still eligible. However, inmates sentenced after the abolishment of parole are not eligible.
That being said, inmates are still eligible for “Supervised Release.” Supervised release, however, is just rebranded parole.
@really
Crime doesn’t happen only in Florida…..I was speaking in general – all states. Listen to the news……people who should have been locked up for very long terms roam the streets and usually become bolder and bolder with every crime, committing a more serious crime each time. There seems to not be such a thing a “rehabilitating” someone who goes to prison now-a-days. Maybe there never was. All I know is that most people seem to want these guys locked up for a long time but then gripe about having to pay for it. There should be a change in the laws – stiffer punishments, less stupid appeals, stiffer qualifications for parole, more and better parole officers. An accused murderer has the right to a swift trial but the loved ones of the victim doesn’t have the right for a death sentence to be carried out quickly. Look up online how many are on death row in Florida and how long they have been there. Lawyers (who end up legislatures) make the laws and are the ones who benefit from the type of justice system we have now. (‘We’ as in every state.) Judges should start giving the max sentence the first time a defendant appears before them and is found guilty. Then maybe the criminals would think twice before becoming repeat offenders.
au contraire, really! Felony offenders and those serving life are ineligible for parole. Others must server at least 85% of their sentence before becoming eligible. The average percentage of completed prison terms rose from a 76.9% completion rate in 1999 to an 86.8% completion rate in 2009.
You may have meant that Florida does not parole lifers or felony offenders, but the way you worded you comments makes it appear as if Florida paroles no one at all. And yes I understand that we are discussing a felonious act in this instance.
@really, that doesn’t mean that these people don’t get bogus slap-on-the-wrist sentences, or get out on early probation, or even released until their court date because there isn’t any room to hold them in our jails.
Murder is 100% preventable, maybe not by the police but by individuals. Take pride in Pensacola and clean it up and others will take notice.
@ Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down…Florida does not parole prisoners. A former governor removed parole from the judicial system.
Escambia County is safe as long as you don’t surround yourself with shady people. Most murders seem to be people who know either other.
LEOs aren’t to blame if criminals are released back on the streets with a few months and a fine. Citizens get angry because of having to clothe, shelter, and feed these villains for very long. We can’t have it both ways…..
Cops arrest these guys and judges and juries and parole boards let them go.
It’s not the Sheriff’s fault if idiots kill each other.
Thing is crime rate overall is down… the murder rates on othr hand not soo much.. I cloudnt tell you how many that makes this year… but tooo many… its crazy bc I’ve been here 24years n within past 2 murder rate is crazy… scares me! :/
How many murders does this make so far in Escambia County this year? There have been so many that the news doesn’t count them anymore, but then agin crime is down if you listen to the spin from sheriff’s office.
