Monday’s Century Triple Shooting Homicide Suspect Was Recently Released From Prison For 2015 Manslaughter
December 2, 2020
A Century triple shooting homicide suspect arrested Tuesday night was just released from prison after serving time for a 2015 shooting death.
Jaran Britt Myles, 26, is charged with first degree homicide, home invasion robbery, aggravated battery and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. He is accused in the shooting of three people Monday night in Century, one of which died at the scene on Alger Road.
Myles was released from state prison in March after completing a sentence for a January 2015 shooting in Century. He was to remain on felony probation until 2026, according to the Florida Department of Corrections.
At age 21, Myles pleaded no contest and was sentenced to prison for manslaughter with a firearm for the January 31, 2015, shooting death of 20-year old Jonathan Ray Wilson on Backwoods Road in Century.
In 2015, a witness told deputies that “Run Run”, later identified as Myles, pulled out a gun and asked him if he was scared of it before taking the magazine out of the weapon and pointing it him. Myles then pulled the trigger of the gun, without the magazine, but it “dry fired”, he said.
The witness said Myles then pointed the gun to Wilson’s head after loading the magazine back into the gun. Wilson then adjusted the height of the gun to his head, “correcting the placement of the gun pointed at him”. The witness said when Wilson let go of the gun, Myles pulled the trigger and shot Wilson in the head.
As a high school sophomore, Myles was a member of the 2012 state champion Northview High School football team and was named “Mr. Versatile” during a team awards banquet.

Judy, ur right. Prolly the same judge who put the dude who jose, in jail. Dude killed someone and did 5 years and got out was out for a month and 22 days and killed jose and got 2 and half years plus a year probation for killing jose. Justice isnt being served right here in pensacola. U got to jail longer holding a blunt then u do firing a gun and killing someone and getting capital murder
Great now is taxpayers can pay for “Run Run” To run track play softball and work on his fitness routine and spade skills for the next 25 years!
Murdered a person and got out in 5 years! Who on earth would hand down this kind of ridiculous sentence? That judge now has a lot of blood on his hands for this thug’s actions! Hope they keep him for life this time!
This is a very sad example of “everyone has an opinion”. It is so sad, just the whole thing. If it was a republican Judge “vote no” to retain them.
@Citizen
wrong
when you vote for the judges see who appointed them, if it was a democrat vote No to retain them
to them criminal justice reform means something different to most republicans, as a general rule of thumb.
5 years for murder?
Wow, yes , its confirmed , the USA (Florida) has lost its mind is headed to destruction.
I give to until about 2028
Some people don’t mind prison all that much. Coming back in for another murder? He’ll be a big dog in there…
Strike two.
When you vote and there are about 4 or 5 that say “Should judge so and so be retained”….
The answer is ALWAYS NO!!
People always lazily vote yes and these judges serve for years on end and continue to release criminals to the streets.
Keep letting these THUGS go & this is what ya get !
Well, Well,Well, here we go. Trials and appeals for years. State Attorneys and judges spending countless hours reviewing the case and all at the expence of the tax payers. Then one day, maybe, we will read that the state finally threw the switch. Such a waste of time money and of lives. The one murdered and the one who will spend the rest of his life incarcerated. The hopes and dreams of their parents gone for ever. And for what?
26 years old and a lengthy CRIMINAL record. At 50+ I live my boring life, I guess….. I Think I will enjoy my freedom and good life choices this morning. How about you Mr. Myles? What are you doing this morning?
From the article-Myles was released from state prison in March after completing a sentence.
Wait, he served 5 years for murder?!?! Are you SERIOUS?!?
catch and release. they do it all the time. they turn em loose at Christmas so they can do their shopping, correction stealing, murder, drug use and other crimes.
Justice reform from the bench at work, nice huh. He should still be in prison period.
