Markquise Wallace Convicted On All Counts For Double Fatal Hit And Run
November 9, 2019
Double fatal hit and run suspect Markquise Deshawn Wallace was convicted on all counts against him Friday afternoon.
Three people were crossing Cervantes Street near M Street when they were hit by a Dodge Charger driven at a high rate of speed by Wallace, according to Pensacola Police. Neariaah Ikerria Williams, age 8 months, and a family friend, 28-year-old Nephateria Monique Williams, died. The child’s mother, 27-year-old Quineka Tyon Baldwin, was injured.
The jury deliberated for about four hours Friday before finding Wallace guilty on two counts of vehicular homicide, two counts of failing to remain at a crash site involving death and one count of tampering with an electronic monitoring device.
He will be sentenced on November 25, and prosecutors plan to seek the maximum sentence of 65 years.

Taking a third life won’t bring the ones lost back
Why should the tax payers foot the bill to take care of him, comfort him as he lives and breathes, he deserves the same fate as the victims. Death! HOPING THE JUDGE HAS A BACKBONE, and sentences him according to his deeds.
MAX SENTENCE and then toss the keys away!!!
Is there anywhere to watch full videos from the trial?
Amazing, the window tint witness claims he puts window tint on cars all day long in 30 minutes……NOPE On a rented car…NOPE

Wonder what else they would have gotten him for if he hadn’t ran.
“One count of tampering with an electronic monitoring device”!!! So he was on house arrest! They need to just go on and change those bracelets out for microchips. Supposed to be safe for animals, no different than those birth control things they’re putting in people. Let them tamper with those. Don’t want it-stay in jail!!! We allow dysfunctional people out in the world with a string around their finger and wonder why they do horribly dysfunctional things when we told them not to do it again. REALLY! SMH.
He said he wasn’t the driver. Well, why did you run? Huh? Tell us, why did you run? There are some people on this earth that should not be allowed to breath the same air as everyone else. He is one of them. May he rot in hell for what he did. The day he dies, I hope that baby and that young lady stands before him, as he goes on to hell.
GOOD, saw the mother of child killed by this punk and the relief on her face that he is Finally found Guilty.
Partial Justice to us as recall the local media reported his mother had rented the car for him, friends had hidden him up north, all along the way there are persons who should also be implicated, charged and brought to trial for assisting him evade law enforcement for so long.
Who and When will we be seeing them in court?
Also the “No Questions Asked” dude who did multiple window tintings of many vehicles brought in by this punk. How can he NOT know that something is UP and it’s Not Good?
Thanks to those who did stand up and help LEO find this punk and bring him to Justice.
Where is that smile now. Shows no remorse what so ever. ROT in Prison !!
His cowardice and no respect for life has sealed his fate…his last breaths on this earth will be in a prison cell
