The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office has made an arrest in the August 20, 2014, murder of Tyler Evans, whose remains were found in the area of Weller Avenue and Bradfield Road.
Tony James Leamon Stroud, 23, was charged with premeditated murder. He is being held in the Escambia County Jail without bond.
The Sheriff’s Office said “exhaustive investigative work” by Major Crimes investigators, along with witness testimony and forensic evidence, led to the arrest.

Young man with all these talents? First he has to get his brain right. I’m pretty sure the NFL don’t want any more thugs representing them making bad headlines and smearing their image. Prison is his talent. If he is guilty of this hope he will be gone for a long time.
This is so sad in so many areas. All sympathies to the family of the victim.
The young man who has been charged with this offense was one of the most talented young athletes that I have seen in this area. He had raw talent that could have certainly taken him to Collegiate Div 1 in football and possibly to the NFL. He just seemed to make choices that went against his self interest. Such a waste…
The victim was NBA player Reggie Evans’ nephew. His mother has suffered tremendously with this loss. Maybe this arrest will bring some comfort to the family.
>>Can someone please tell me if this was the young lady who was in the Navy?
That was Tyler Jefferson n 2009, and they are still looking for her killer. Reward info:

Can someone please tell me if this was the young lady who was in the Navy? Lots of murdering going on. I can’t keep them straight. Im glad that the family can finally get closer.
