Cantonment Man Arrested In Nine Mile Road Shooting Death

June 27, 2018

A Nine Mile Road murder suspect was arrested after a police pursuit earlier today.

Deon Keith Harris of Cantonment was arrested for the January 6, 2017, homicide of Allen Ray Elliott.   Elliott died from a gunshot wound to the head after what the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office described as a drug deal gone bad he was found face down in the parking lot of an apartment complex behind Vannoy’s Tires.

Authorities say the suspect and his girlfriend made up a story about being carjacked in order to create an alibi for the crime.

Shaquille Kushun Jordan was also arrested in late January 2017 for the murder. The case against him is pending.

Deputies located Harris’ vehicle Tuesday afternoon and attempted a traffic stop, but Harris accelerated away. During the pursuit, he struck another vehicle, injuring the driver, before the pursuit ended near Davis Highway and I-10.
