Four Teens Charged In Fatal Shooting Described As ‘Drug Rip Off’
January 26, 2021
Four teenagers — ages 14, 15 and two 17-year olds have been charged for the Friday night murder of a 61-year old Escambia County man in what the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office described as a “drug rip off ending in homicide.”
Those charged are:
- Javarius Cordell Henderson, 14, capital murder
- Jesse L’Amos Snowden, 15, capital murder and attempted homicide
- Cedric Antonio Young Jr., 17, capital murder, attempted homicide, escape and resisting without violence
- Calvin Barnard Williams, 17, homicide
The shooting occurred Friday night in the 900-block of Massachusetts Avenue.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office found a truck that had crashed into a power pole. Samuel Thomley was found deceased from an apparent gunshot wound inside the truck. A second gunshot victim was located and was taken to a local hospital for non-life threatening injuries.
Based on their preliminary investigation, ECSO Major Crime Unit investigators believe this incident was drug related.
“Sadly, this is another example of the type of drug related violence we battle here in Escambia County. These four arrests were made thanks to the hard work and dedication of the ECSO Investigators, who have spent tireless hours on this case,” said Sheriff Chip Simmons.

Fatherless homes.
I’m sure a “gun buy back” will solve this cultural and societal mixed drug issue. Smoke and mirrors. Most guns used in murders are stolen. I hope Pensacola gets a grip at some point. You keep electing these progressive psuedo intellectuals into office. It’s only a matter of time before the homicide rate is equivalent to Chicagos if you keep electing these know it alls.
What a sad world we live in now,These kids have ruined their lives forever..They will never experience what normal teenagers experience…my heart goes out to the families of these boys…They will grow up in prison and for what?drugsss….
What is “Drug Rip Off” Is that when Street drug dealers are Battling with each other?
The lure of easy money and the dream that it will change their life for the better.
Reality their life is so bad out on the street that prison is a set up for a lot of them.
There is no structure in their lifes, no cause and effect reality for them either.
A short life with danger and constant threat from just about every angle is not worth it.
A life where working a HONEST job will net such great rewards is totally lost on the instant gratification people of today.
If they did the crime and get convicted they will be useless to society.
Nuckle heads Being Nuckle heads.
free you Javarius !! you will be home soon bae!!
It is so sad when 14 year olds are involved in homicides.
This will sound brutal and unjust, but when a life is taken from another during a senseless crime, then the life taker should be made to surrender their own, other than in self defense. Florida needs to bring back “Old Sparky” and put it to good use.BTW, I don’t apologize……….
The Mayor and City Council would lead you to believe that this is a “gun” issue and that a ‘gun buyback” would end these acts of violence. Nonsense…countless cases have proven that buybacks have little effect on gun violence. Those monies would be better spent addressing the issues of Pensacola gangs and drugs.
These have no wisdom. Society today does NOT (as a whole) honor God nor His Word. It is written that, “The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.” They have not even begun.
there again we can’t even discipline our kids without someone freaking out. Raise your kids right . Be around pay attention. We blame everything but ourselves .. blame music and tv . Where were you when they were listening or watching these things? Kids need guidance and discipline. Its so easy to give them what they want to shut them up so you don’t have to listen or pay attention. Think about that.
Keeping it classy Pensacola. Was a nice decent town until well….
There is no doubt about it, the younger generation is completely unimaginably in my opinon worthless , they have ABSOLUTELY no respect for others and themselves. Something real bad is soon to take place ,I can sense it .
This is what happens When kids are taught to idolize straight thugs . With all the vulgar profanity ,sexual lyrics , drug running, gang banging trash in music these days, it’s no surprise the world is a mess right now.. pure shame what society has come to
once again Pensacola / Escambia county has made
international news for the wrong reason again……..
These kids today don’t have any respect for life nor
themselfs…………
Beware, its only going to get worse……………..
IF Tried as Adults and IF Convicted and IF Sentenced, then WE The People will be paying years upon years of Our Tax Money to take care of these punks.
Sickening
