Escambia Man Gets 35 Years For 2015 Murder

April 1, 2017

An Escambia County man was sentenced Friday to prison for a 2015 murder.

Jeremiah Farrish  was sentenced to 35 years in state prison with 25 years as a mandatory minimum for second degree murder in the death of Eugenio Acosta.

On August 8, 2015, Acosta was found shot multiple times at a residence on Lakeview Avenue. Prosecutors said Acousta was killed during the course of a robbery.

Farrish, Jesse Square and Iesha Robinson were originally charged in this case. Square  was acquitted at trial. Robinson pled to a reduced charge of manslaughter and was previously sentenced to 10 years in state prison.

Farrish pled guilty to second degree murder in exchange for testifying against his co-defendants.
