Arrest Made In Gas Station Double Murder

November 13, 2015

A young Escambia County man has been arrested for the murders to two people at a gas station on Palafox Street Wednesday afternoon.

Terry Newkirk, 19, has been charged with two counts of homicide and booked into the Escambia County Jail without bond.

Newkirk admitted to investigators that he was the black male seen by witnesses getting inside the SUV at the Raceway gas station on Palafox and Mason Lane about 1:30 Monday afternoon. Antrone Marquis Moore and Antonio Bullard,  both 26-years old, were shot to death inside that SUV.

Investigators said the shooting occurred during a drug transaction at the gas pumps. Newkirk, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, has connections to a local gang.

    @driven go sit in the dependency court just 1 day. You would be suprised how many children are removed because parents make decisions to involve children in all kinds of poor situations. If you want to help those children become a part of the Guardian Ad Litem program

    REGARDING:
    “Although a lot of drug users make some poor decisions. I’d like to think they wouldn’t be stupid enough to bring their children to a drug deal…”

    Sometimes children are PART of a drug deal, offered in exchange for a fix.

    David for safe children

    Although a lot of drug users make some poor decisions. I’d like to think they wouldn’t be stupid enough to bring their children to a drug deal…

    So sad these young people did not care how their families would feel when their mistakes caught up with them. I am glad there were no children with them at the time.
