Escambia Man Gets Life For Murder

July 3, 2015

An Escambia County man sentenced to life in prison Thursday for a local murder.

Terrance Hartley was convicted of first degree premeditated murder by an Escambia County jury.  Following the verdict, Hartley was sentenced to life in state prison by Circuit Court Judge Terry Terrell.

On April 14, 2014, the victim, Dequarius Durant, was ambushed while sitting in his vehicle on Topaz Avenue in the Mayfair community.  Hartley, and his codefendants, Jim Williams and Gerald Parson, were among those who surrounded the vehicle and opened fire, killing Durant.  Williams was tried and convicted and sentenced to life in prison.  Parson entered a plea relating to his involvement in the crime.

    REGARDING:
    “Though they are connected, Topaz Dr. is in the Oakcrest neighborhood”

    How you figure?
    Topaz runs from Emerald to Aquamarine, all in the Mayfair Subdivision.

    Oakcrest Elementary School is on the other side of Fairfield.
    On the other hand, children living in Mayfair Subdivision attend Oakcrest Elementary School.

    David for geography
    and good schools and neighbors
