Man Sentenced Under 10-20-Life Law

June 6, 2015

An Escambia County man has been sentenced to prison under Florida’s 10-20-Life law.

Kamarccus Webster was sentenced by Circuit Judge Edward P. Nickinson, III to 25 years state prison for aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and 20 years state prison for each of two counts of aggravated assault. The sentences must be served as a mandatory minimum and must be served consecutively for a total of 65 years in state prison.

Webster previously was convicted by an Escambia County jury on January 30, 2015.

The charges stem from a shooting that occurred on August 27, 2013, in the area of Strong and D Streets.  Two victims were shot by Webster when a fight broke out following a basketball game.  Both victims were struck in the shoulder by bullets; neither injury was life-threatening.  One of the victims was sitting in his vehicle when he was  shot; the other was struck while running away.  Webster began shooting into a crowd of  approximately 20 people.

At the crime scene, law enforcement located 13 9mm shell casings. There were four witnesses that identified Kamarccus Webster as the shooter. Webster remained as a fugitive until he was arrested on March 3, 2014.

    The 13 9mm shell casings means he probably emptied his gun’s magazine before he took off. Glad he neglected to bring a reload.
