Deborah, the last one that happened last year was just off 95a but there was another shooting about 3 years ago near the SAME location, Cedartown and Allen Cir.
It is actually Not remote. There are houses and families and children playing outside EVERYDAY.
Prayers for the family of this person.
Molino is not like NYC and is not the wild Wild West. Lol. Sorry had to laugh at that.
Molino has always been like the Wild West. Keep your guns loaded and your backs to the wall, cowboys! Justice will come around some dark night and take out the garbage. But keep your eyes peeled until then.
Susie, It the most remote stretch of Cedartown Road….that is why I am thinking that the shooter chose to ambush the victim(s) at that location. Good point! The incidents could be related….
So sorry for the family. My prayers are with you all.
In June of 2021 there was a similar incident in the same vicinity where a 21 year old was shot and killed. That’s strange to me. I don’t know the outcome of that case either. Just thought I’d bring it up in case there are other similarities.
Cedertown Guy if we band together WE can make a difference, it won’t be like this See Something Say Something, Know Something Say Something that makes a difference, we need to take our town back from this mess, people fly up and down this road day and night the dirt road is very dark and scary, with that being said Let’s make a difference, to the victim I knew him along time he was a good person he didn’t deserve that!! RIP my friend I will miss you smiling all the time ! Prayers for the family and all of his friends he had a lot!! You will be deeply missed!!!
Oversight they need to be brought to justice, but I bet they have a previous rap sheet. And, they we let off easy on that. I was in count many years ago. A guy had 26 burglary charges, he got one year. That is not punishment. I wish I had his name I would love to see how many he has had since. They plea bargain to much just to get rid of them but justice is not served.
Damn molino is getting like New York city
This sounds like this person was known by the shooter, and knew his comings and goings. The victim was then stalked like an animal and then murdered in cold blood. Was it actually multiple shots or a shotgun close range? My heart goes out to the family, but no matter what the perpetrators motive was, violence never solves anything anytime. Life itself it too short to end this way.
The 26th murder on Tuesday, and now the 27th on Thursday. Will Escambia break 30 by November? Only time will tell. Somebody heard, and likely there are others in the know about these crimes. Do the right thing, say something, and help bring these murdering offenders to justice.
My condolences to the family. I’m so sorry to hear of this tragedy. Don’t sleep on this Chip.
R. I P. My Friend…
I’m praying for his family.
To those blaming lack of patrol or…. This sounds random and that the person knew him. Shoot multiple times means they were mad at them or knew them enough to want them permanently gone. Either way there is nothing preventing this type of crime.
We don’t have enough Sheriffs patrolling Molino. We need more presence out here.
This family has been through so much and now this
When will this madness end . It seems to be an everyday thing now. Another murder then another then another.,.,. No one is safe anymore. My condolences to the family you should not be going through this. I’m truly sorry this has happened to your loved one .
This is so sad. sending prayers to my friends and their family .if you need anything please do not hesitate to call . Diamond Family
We need around the table up here Mr Chip please
Prayers
WTH?
