Escambia Man Gets Life For 2013 Stabbing Death

December 21, 2016

An Escambia County man has been sentenced to life in prison for a 2013 stabbing death.

Anthony Paul Peoples, Jr., was found guilty in a judge trial before Judge Thomas Dannheisser of the second degree murder of  19-year old Tyquon James Prim. Dannheisser immediately sentenced Peoples to life in state prison.

On October 26, 2013, Prim collapsed in front of the Hotel Liquidation on Mobile Highway with a stab wound to the chest. A bystander chased the defendant from the scene to his grandmother’s house a few blocks away. Peoples was arrested at that location shortly thereafter.

Prim subsequently died as a result of the stab wound.

    The Hotel Liquidation; most prophetic.

    I do not believe that I have ever stayed there.
