Escambia Man Gets 40 Years For Shooting

August 18, 2015

State Attorney Bill Eddins announced Monday that Ahmad Sheaffers was sentenced on August 14 by Circuit Judge Edward P. Nickinson, III to 46 years in state prison with 40 years being served day for day under Florida’s 10-20-Life Statute.

Sheaffers was convicted on June 25, 2015 by an  Escambia County jury of 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 was struck multiple times by gunfire, but no one was injured in the shooting.
