Man Charged With Three Counts Of Attempted Homicide In Triple Shooting
May 5, 2022
An Escambia County man is charged in a triple shooting Wednesday night.
Jayshawn Wendell Jackson, 18, is charged with three counts of attempted homicide, two counts of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, carrying a concealed firearm, carrying a concealed firearm during the commission of a felony, discharging a firearm in public and marijuana possession over 20 grams. He remained jailed with bond set at $437,500.
Three people were shot just after 11 p.m. on Besma Drive. The victims were transported to a local hospital for treatment. One person suffered a gunshot wound to the leg that may require amputation, according to an arrest report.
The report states Jackson arrived at the home an argument ensued over an “ongoing dispute about personal property.” He allegedly pulled a gun and fired into the air before shooting three people.
Jackson was detained after deputies located Jackson with two guns inside a vehicle on Sarah Drive with four other people. Another occupant of the vehicle, 19-year-old Xavian Williams, was also charged with carrying a concealed weapon.

Another fine outstanding citizen of Escambia County. When I was young, we would fight like cats and dogs, shake hands and end it. I guess it’s turning into the streets of Tombstone again. Can’t point fingers at anyone except the one that pulls the trigger. Praying for all involved!!!
18 and already a convicted felon and facing more charges. How long before the revolving door of prison has him on the streets again? Make prison punishment and not rehabilitation and they won’t be excited about returning.
But i thought criminals couldn’t have guns?
