Escambia County Man Charged With Second Degree Murder
April 9, 2022
An Escambia County man is charged with fatally shooting a woman Friday morning.
David Allan Ohlson, 18, is being held without bond on a charged of second degree murder.
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to a home on Princeton Drive for an “accidental shooting”, but they discovered it was actually a domestic incident.
The victim was found with a shotgun wound to her abdomen. She was transported to an area hospital where she later died.
Ohlson’s father told deputies he received a call from the woman around 12:30 a.m. saying Ohlson was acting out and “made mention of a gun,” according to an arrest report. The father said he arrived at the home a short time later and found Ohlson sitting cross-legged on the floor with a shotgun.
According to the report, Ohlson raised the gun and pointed it at the father before pointing it at the woman. The father said Ohlson then pulled the trigger and dropped the gun. The father picked it up, “secured it inside of his truck” and called 911.

I’ve known this family for 30 years, they are no different than any other family, some of them act better than others.
As Bri stated, David has struggled with mental illness, should have never had access to a firearm, but like so many other family that have had a similar tragedy, no one wanted to believe that he was capable of acting out in such a way.
This has nothing to do with the devil, evil spirits or other such nonsense, it has everything to do with his state of mind!!!! We as a society must start paying closer attention to the people around us and recognizing the signs for exactly what they are, warnings, but no one wants to think that their family membersvarevcapable of such heinous acts, even when the signs are slapping them in the head!!! I’m praying for you Aaron and for everyone else that is being affected by this tragedy.
@Bri Meadows I’m so sorry for your loss and this terrible tragedy. I will say a special prayer for your family, as well as the victim and her family. Bless you all & God give you all strength to carry you through.
This is my cousin, he is a good kid who has suffered with mental illness for sometime, no one knows what really happened. My family is completely heart broken. If you do anything keep them all in your thoughts and prayers.
I’m sure this was all one big misunderstanding.

DO NOT JUDGE, UNTIL YOU KNOW THE FACTS. THIS IS A LOVING FAMILY, THAT HAS ENDURED A HORRIFIC TRADEGY. WHAT YOU CAN DO IS SEND PRAYERS FOR THE FATHER, AND FOR DAVID.
Loving families don’t kill each other. No need to try and scream that out to everybody. They all need prayers. That includes her family as well. They lost a daughter.
Now, sit down.
I told his mom when she bought the house about all the crazy that went on with each owner of that house. She had her pastor pray over the house and saged it. That house has some bad spirits. I am saddened by what has happened.

I just don’t understand how people are charged. How could this be anything but first- degree murder?
2nd degree? Wow…
He deserves 1st degree! He intentionally chose to end her life. His should be forfeit as well!
This at one time was called crazy now it’s mental illness!!!! Either way it’s so sad !!! 18 yrs old and life is over !!! Not to mention the victim and her life and family and friends !!!! I’ve always said these people may have mental issues but what amazes me is they are never to ill or crazy when they kill others!!! I just don’t get it
His moment of stupidity cost and ruined a lot of lives . Look inside a jail cell for life ; not nice .
Sitting in the floor cross-legged with the shotgun in his lap… Sounds like someone who never should have had a gun. The only person who would do that would be someone mentally ill. This is why DV calls are some of the most dangerous calls for LEO.
