Attempted Homicide Suspect Arrested

April 27, 2015

Authorities are searching for a man accused of choking and shooting a woman Sunday.

Terrill Lamar Jenkins, 33, was charged with attempted homicide, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, felony battery (strangulation), armed burglary, and shooting into a vehicle.

Pensacola Police responded to a residence around 9:30 a.m. today after a 30-year-old woman reported Jenkins had forced his way into her home and attacked her with a firearm. The victim managed to escape, but Jenkins followed her.

Detective Jeff Brown said Jenkins attacked the woman at another residence and tried to strangle her. Once again the victim managed to escape after bystanders intervened.  Jenkins fired a gun into her vehicle as she was leaving the area.

Jenkins is a black male, six feet tall and weighs approximately 165 pounds.  Anyone having information on the incident is asked to contact Detective Jeff Brown at (850) 435-1980 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433- STOP.

    Why is he charged with 1st degree premeditated Homicide if he didn’t actually kill her? I can understand attempted murder charges but not 1st degree homicide.

    He is a convicted felon and a scourge on society, when he is caught, the max penalty the law allows is not enough – 75 years in prison is a good start.

    You have to love it when their mug shots show them in jail house garb. Frequent flyer I’m guessing.
