Markquise Wallace Gets Max Sentence Of 65 Years For Double Fatal Hit And Run
December 13, 2019
Markquise Deshawn Wallace was sentenced Friday to 65 year is state prison for a double fatal hit and run in Escambia County. That was the maximum sentence allowed under state law.
Wallace must serve 85%, or just over 55 years, of the sentence, according to State Attorney Bill Eddins. His driver’s license was also permanently revoked under the sentence handed down by Judge Lacey Powell Clark.
Three people were crossing Cervantes Street near M Street when they were hit by a Dodge Challenger 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.
A jury deliberated for about four hours November 8 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.

“Your hustle determines you salary”
Hustle: can be paralleled with Works.
Salary: can be paralleled with wages.
I’ll bet his shirt has more meaning than he realized.
(Romans 6:23 KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Where’s the smirk now ? Jerk
This scum bag had the nerve to ask for leniency!
I hope they nail his accomplices who helped him hide the car and elude arrest for so long
you caused so much pain and suffering…you will live the rest of your days in a cage
And the world has plenty of these sick people running around each day..literally
One day, maybe, this person will get out of prison, if he lives long enough, and people will look at him as an old man that has paid his debt to society. Most will have forgottten that fatful day but this debt can never be paid. Quineka Tyon Baldwin’s heart will never heal from the loss of her child and neither will the mother of Nephateria Monique Williams. Wallace’s total disregaurd for other peoples lives has cost him and in my openion not nearly enough.
Oh when Karma drives the bus! His shirt “your hustle determines your salary” looks like the hustle is up,
It’s aweful what happened, I pray this guy finds God and that the family of the victims find strength and solace in this tragedy. God bless all
I’ve seen lesser charges an get life in prison.he dont deserve to get out.hes a heartless man to kill an run.he should had judge Kinsey’s she loves to make long prison sentenced
Thank You Judge Clark.
What happened to the smirk??
GOOD RIDDENCE! I DON’T EVEN KNOW THESE PEOPLE THAT LOST THEIR LIVES THAT DAY, BUT HE SHOULD NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY! YOU KILLED THEM AND LEFT AND TRIED TO RUN…I PRAY THAT MS. BALDWIN IS SURROUNDED BY FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND I PRAY FOR HER AND HER FAMILY!
May all your Christmas wishes come true! Scumbag!
