Two Suspects Charged In Saturday Murder
October 4, 2020
Two suspects have been charged with a shooting death Saturday in Escambia County.
Kentavius Oliver, 30, and Samuel Maurice Young, 26, are both charged with murder and being held in the Escambia County jail without bond.
Two black males wearing ski masks shot a man at an apartment at the corner of Mobile Highway and Klondike Road about 1:30 p.m. before fleeing.
The ECSO has not released the name of the victim found dead at the scene or the motive, but authorities did say they believe the shooting may have been drug related.
Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP or the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620.

I know this place well ,grew up in the next house and lived in the apartments (if you could call them that at the time) ,this area was a great place to grow up and my family still owns the property next door , so sad to see the demise of this area, its too bad.
@ Anne. Excellent comment.
Drugs and Death seem to go hand-in-hand.
Not saying there were drugs involved here and that’s up to the ECSO to determine.
But if the drugs are the problem then this is just another example of the downward slide of “society”.
Doubt any amount of “psychologists” or “counselors” would assist in any way.
Need more dedicated and good Law Enforcement Officers and State Attorney who will focus on crime prosecution.
For those whining about wanting “a Change” how about you quit complaining and help make a Change for Safe Streets and Lifestyles in Escambia County and Pensacola.
Keep’m locked up…..
More lives that didn’t evidently matter.
Familiar faces pictured here. Not their first rodeo.
That place is a cesspool waiting for a crime scene to happen! Should have been demolished decades ago.
Don’t worry Charlie.
The retaliation shooting should be swift and just as deadly.
My mother in law and I drove up to the scene of the incident We traveled up to Klondike rd. We were completely surprised about the high traffic of police when we saw them putting the crimescene tape around the apartments that’s where we saw the crazy SEVERAL AMOUNT OF POLICE CARS WITH THEIR LIGHTS WERE FLASHING. It really scared us quite a bit.
In that particular apartments. It’s NEVER BEEN SAFE THERE. And I will be praying for the family that lost a member of their family.
“May have been drug related” imagine that. Sorry for a families loss but if it’s drug related they know it’s coming at some point.
I had to call 911 a few weeks ago because as I was pulling up to the stop sign there to turn onto Mobile Hwy I saw several people physically fighting in that apartment parking lot and a woman ran directly in front of my car and fell, covered in blood. When I asked her if she needed help all she said was “No, they will just call the cops.” She then got up and ran away down Mobile Hwy. That interaction definitely seemed drug related. I’m sad to see the violence continued and escalated.
I live off of Mobile Highway and turn down Klondike to get to Pine Forest. I drove past this MINUTES after. Saw the body, saw all the cops and ambulances. Absolutely horrible. I am heartbroken to know a life was taken. Hope this gets taken care of swiftly.
