Escambia Man Sentenced For Shooting Landlord

December 22, 2015

Jeremy Antwon French was sentenced by Circuit Judge Michael Jones to 30 years in state prison to be followed by five years probation.  Twenty-five of the 30 years are to be served day for day under Florida’s 10-20-Life statute. French will be required to serve 25 years without any gain time.

French pleaded no contest on September 30 to attempted first degree premeditated murder, four counts of shooting at a building, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and two counts of aggravated assault.

On August 13, 2014, French confronted his property manager at an apartment complex off of Langley Avenue.  He fired his .380 pistol multiple times into the victim’s front door, striking her twice.  He continued firing into her residence through multiple windows.  French proceeded through the apartment complex firing at three other residences before authorities were able to apprehend him on scene.

In all, there were 26 spent shell casings recovered and located in French’s right front pocket were 29 more live rounds.
