Federal, State Agencies Execute Search Warrant In State Line Shooting Death

April 23, 2016

Federal and state agents joined the Flomaton Police Department in executing a search warrant Friday afternoon at a home on the Alabama-Florida state line where a man died from a gunshot wound Tuesday.

For now, authorities are not saying who they think fired the fatal shot that killed 18-year old Kenneth Harris, Jr. of Flomaton. The death is still being classified as “suspicious” rather than a murder, according to Police Chief Bryan Davis.

“We are executing a search warrant this afternoon to gather evidence and determine exactly what happened here,” Davis said.

NorthEscambia.com was the only media present as agents from the FBI, U.S. Marshals, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and the Flomaton Police Department executed the search warrant at a home on Lender Street, an area directly on the Alabama-Florida state line off Alley 5 in Century.

The exact location of the state line on Lender Street is hard to determine; it appears in slightly different locations on different maps. But after the Tuesday incident, authorities reached the conclusion that the home is in Alabama based upon property tax records.

About 12:45 p.m. Tuesday, the Flomaton Police Department received a 911 call that a person had been shot. Officers from the Flomaton Police Department and the Escambia County (FL) Sheriff’s Office responded, with the the Flomaton Police Department taking the lead role in the investigation.
