Escambia Man Faces Up To Life For Shooting Outside Store
January 14, 2014
An Escambia County man faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced for a shooting outside a convenience store.
James Nathaniel Marshall was convicted by an Escambia County jury of aggravated battery with a firearm, aggravated assault with a firearm, shooting into an occupied vehicle and three counts of discharging a firearm in public.
The conviction stems from a shooting at the Beacon Foodmart on Barrancas Avenue in December 2012. Prosecutors said Marshall got into a verbal argument with two people. Once the argument ended, the other two individuals got in their vehicle to leave. As they began to drive out of the parking lot, Marshall fired shots at their vehicle. One of the individuals exited the vehicle and was struck in the shoulder with one shot. That person was treated at Baptist Hospital and survived.
Marshall will be sentenced by Circuit Court Judge Linda Nobles at a later date. He faces from 25 years to life in state prison under Florida’s 10-20-Life law.

Kinda like shooting someone in the back or at least trying to.
This guy has a lot of minor traffic offenses on his record, so this was quite an escalation. I think, given his repeated and chronic disreqard for the law, however, it was only a matter of time before something like this happened. That scofflaw attitude becomes a way of life quickly, and so many of our kids are going that way, allowing anger and a need to not “lose face” to rule who they are and what they do. I’m happy that no one was killed, and I will pray for not only his victims, but for this troubled soul.
