Escambia Man Gets 25 Years For Shooting Domino’s Driver

March 10, 2015

An Escambia County man has been sentenced to prison for shooting a pizza delivery driver.

David Trevor Burgess, 20, was sentenced by Circuit Judge Edward P. Nickinson, III, to a minimum mandatory sentence of 25 years  instate prison.  Burgess will be required to serve the sentence day for day with no gain time.  He previously pleaded guilty on November 19 to aggravated assault, aggravated battery, and shooting within a building.

The charges stem from a shooting that occurred on June 18, 2014, when Burgess shot a Domino’s delivery man.  Burgess had been smoking marijuana and took what he believed to be acid, a hallucinogenic. Burgess’ roommate ordered a pizza thinking it  would help him.  When the delivery man arrived and the roommate went out to pay, Burgess shot through the front door multiple times with his 9mm pistol.  The delivery man was stuck one time in his back, puncturing his lung.  The delivery man was able to drive away and call 911 for medical assistance.

    Here Here Gman, day for day is the only way – the only problem I see is he will only be 45/46 yrs old with his time served, he needs to be an old man when he sees the light of day…he could have easily killed that man…

    You reap what you sow every single time. Life is sowing and reaping.

    I pray the delivery driver has recovered somewhat, and have a good life.
