Man Charged In Death Of 76-Year Old
March 7, 2014
An Escambia County man has been charged in connection with the beating death of a man earlier this week.
Marcus Ferrell Toler was charged with aggravated battery on an elderly person in the death of Ben Stallworth, 76.
At 11:45 Tuesday night, deputies responded to a disturbance in the 1700 block of West Lakeview Avenue where they found Stallworth was sitting on his couch with obvious injuries. He was transported to a local hospital by ambulance were he was pronounced deceased.
The victim’s son told deputies that he had heard his father yell for him and upon entering the room, discovered an unidentified black male in a struggle with his father. The suspect fled.
Forensic evidence and witness interviews led to Toler’s arrest, investigators said. The charge against Toler could be upgraded when the Medical Examiner’s final report is completed, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. He remains in the Escambia County Jail without bond.
