May 24, 2022
UPDATED — Kennon Farrow has been arrested without incident at Nine Mile and Beulah Road. A traffic stop was made by members of the U.S. Marshall’s Fugitive Task Force, Pensacola Police, Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, and the Florida Highway Patrol. There were no injuries during the traffic stop.
Previous story:
The Pensacola Police Department is searching for 39-year old Kennon Nicholas Farrow for a fatal shooting Tuesday morning at Pensacola Fitness on North 9th Avenue at Creighton Road.
At 4:25 a.m., Farrow allegedly entered the gym armed with a handgun and fired several shots at 48-year Carla Elaine Williams. She was hit multiple times and pronounced deceased at the scene.
PPD said Farrow fled the scene. He is now wanted for first degree premeditated murder.
Police first said he might be traveling in a gray Mercedes Benz with Florida tag #154-RZU. Late Monday afternoon, PPD said they now believe he is traveling in small blue Nissan SUV with an unknown tag number.
If anyone has information on the whereabouts of Farrow, they are asked to call 911 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP to remain anonymous.
Williams (pictured below) was an associate math professor and former basketball star at Pensacola State College. She worked at PSC for over 24 years in athletics, collegiate high, and the math and computer science departments.

@Bewildered, the only reason “death penalty prisoners cost the taxpayers almost twice as much as the ones sentenced to life” is because of lawyers fees for appeals filings and court costs for those appeals. Cut back on the lawyers fees and the cost will go down significantly.
Mike J. , death penalty prisoners cost the taxpayers almost twice as much as the ones sentenced to life. Bad enough to spend 3/4 of a million on an individual who sits in prison for life. Society is becoming more lenient, no chance that swift executions are in our future
I saw this tragic article yesterday but last night my son told me he found out at the college. Ms. Williams was my son’s math instructor a few semesters ago. He liked her for the first course he attended with her so he scheduled with her class for another course that he needed. She was very good and helpful for my son and I’m sure all her students. Prayers for her family.
This is a proven case of murder and will most likely be convicted without doubt. He planned in advance, knowing her schedule. If this man is proven guilty without doubt, witnesses and every detail, then the punishment should be death penalty. Don’t keep him in prison for 20+ years. If no chance of mistakes or corruption, then get the penalty done.
Also, if you can’t disagree politely without personal attacks (Rule 1), then please don’t post at all. Keep it to yourself. Thank you.
A restraining order is just a piece of worthless paper and bureaucracy by the legal stance.
The legal system failed this lady as they do many many of them.
The restraining order is a national joke.
Shooting,stabbing,choking…you think a person with no morals cares about a restraining order?
Paperwork never saved anyone!
She was a regular at my tom thumb, she was so sweet, an i knew something was wrong because everything they both came in together she was quieter and more to herself, but when she came in by herself she was a ball of joy. She will be missed so much!! knew something was wrong

This jewel will be missed. I worked with Ms. Williams for over two years at Pensacola State College. When I first met Ms. Williams she was a beautiful person inside and outside. Prayers are with the family.
I remember her from my time @ PSC. She always was willing to help the students with whatever.
How aweful! I just read who the victim was. I was the Athletic Department Secretary when she played basketball under Coach Carson at Pensacola Junior College.
Such a sweet girl!
My prayers go out to her family and friends.
She was such a sweet person, she also was my algebra teacher
Beautiful Person, just can’t believe this happen..
Wow…2 in 2 days…another senseless tragedy that has left 2 families grieving the loss of a loved one by senseless killings. People just don’t care anymore. Big prayers for these families.
This is so sad! Carla was a beautiful, kind and disciplined lady. Rest in peace, Carla!
How sad…. A tragic loss of a beautiful life and obviously beautiful mind. Hope they catch that awful person soon, and send him to death row.
