Convicted Man Faces Up To Life For 2014 Beulah Murder
June 4, 2016
An Escambia County man has been found guilty of a 2014 murder in Beulah and is facing up to life in prison.
Terrance Soles was convicted by an Escambia County jury of second degree murder in the killing of Skky Shine.
On November 10, 2014, Soles was driving a white Toyota Avalon with the victim Skky Shine in the front passenger seat. Soles made a 911 phone call at approximately 1:30 a.m., and in that phone call Soles can be heard telling the victim, Shine to put his hands on the dash and not to move. Before the call ends, victim Shine can be heard saying “don’t shoot me.” Within minutes, Soles calls 911 back requesting law enforcement to his mother’s home and eventually says on that 911 call “we were going through it here in the car and I shot him.”
Sheriff’s deputies responded to Soles’ mother’s home where Soles drove up flashing his lights and was found to have a 9mm pistol in his lap. The victim, Shine was in the passenger seat with a single gunshot wound to the head.
In the Toyota Avalon, crime scene technicians found one spent 9mm casing and one projectile. FDLE confirmed that the casing was fired from the weapon that the defendant had in his lap. FDLE was also able to identify Shine’se DNA on the 9mm pistol and casing. It was later determined that Soles purchased the 9mm pistol in 2012 from a dealer in Louisiana. During the autopsy, the Medical Examiner determined that the gun was fired from a close range of two inches or less by the presence and location of gunpowder particles on the victim.
Circuit Judge John Miller ordered a presentence investigation and set sentencing for July 12. Soles is facing a minimum sentence of 25 years with a maximum sentence of life in state prison under Florida’s 10-20-Life statute.

This kid’s mom & family are really good people. This young man had unlimited potential that was zapped in seconds when he committed this senseless act. Two mothers lost their sons. Only the adversary is happy here. Praying for all. Guns & drugs never end well
10-20-life, we all know the meaning. However, get impaired, drive a car and kill someone and experience freedom in a fraction of that time.
