Escambia Man Faces Up To 40 Years For Drive-By Shooting
June 27, 2015
An Escambia County man is facing up to 40 years in prison for a 2014 drive-by shooting.
Ahmad Sheaffers was convicted by an Escambia County Jury for two counts of aggravated assault with a firearm, shooting from a vehicle and shooting at a dwelling.
The charges stem from a drive by shooting that occurred June 21, 2014, in the area of Fisher Street and Gonzalez Court. The defendant, known as “Spook”, was identified by witnesses at the scene as being one of possibly two shooters in the backseat of a vehicle. A home received multiple gun shots, but no one was injured in the shooting.
Circuit Judge Edward P. Nickinson, III remanded Sheaffers into custody and scheduled his sentencing for August 14. Under Florida’s 10-20-Life law, Sheaffers is facing 40 years in state prison as minimum mandatory.
