Lexus Involved In Intersection Shootout Found In Georgia; Shooters Still On The Run

January 27, 2018

The silver Lexus involved in an intersection shootout in Escambia County has been located.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said Friday night that the vehicle was located in Georgia. But the search is continuing for  suspect 27-year old Jonathan James Harris and a second unknown shooter who were both inside the Lexus.

Dash cam video from a nearby vehicle shows the silver Lexus pulling up to the intersection of W Street and Fairfield Drive about noon Monday.  A man, later identified as Harris leaned out the open driver’s window of the Lexus. He fired across a traffic lane at a gold Toyota driven by 31-year old Jeremy Olds.

The man identified as Olds jumped out of the Toyota and returned fire. Olds has been located and charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Authorities have estimated that 10-12 rounds were fired, including rounds that struck the Toyota with two children inside.

Deputies said the shooting was likely drug related.

Anyone with information on Harris or the shooting is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

    Do stray bullets just disappear?

    Getting myself a good dash cam! Imagine the odds of that person being in the right place at the right time!

    @ Trocarman
    I have seen instances where upgrading to a Mercedes was a bad idea.

    National Geographic recently had some sort of recognition of downtown Pensacola as a hot spot due to the many bars, vape shops. cigar stores and even some restaurants. Perhaps this new Street Shoot-Out will bump our area up to Preferred Visitor Status.
    Thugs and drugs with no concern of others, Punks.

    Harris had him a Lexus, probably upgraded to a Mercedes by now. Notice the thugs holding the pistols sideways? That’s how they come out of the box. Just sayin. Hope Jonthan Harris and his thug sidekick are soon arrested and brought to justice.
