Escambia Man Gets Life In Prison For Double Shooting
October 17, 2013
An Escambia County man was sentenced to life in prison Wednesday for an attempted murder.
Vernon Stewart Polk, 24, was sentenced by Circuit Judge Linda Nobles to life after being convicted by an Escambia County jury of attempted second degree murder with a weapon and aggravated battery with a firearm.
On June 18, 2012, Vernon Polk walked up to the victim’s car outside the Chicago Store on North Davis Highway and opened fire, shooting Alonzo Lindsey twice in the chest and Antoinette Hunter in the arm. Lindsey was taken to Sacred Heart Hospital where they were able to perform life-saving surgery.
Both victims were able to positively identify Polk from photo line ups.
