Sheriff Says Molino Bicyclist Murder Does Not Appear To Be Random
October 22, 2022
Escambia County Sheriff Simmons says the murder of a man Thursday evening in Molino does not appear to have been random.
Authorities were first called about 5:40 p.m. to the report of a hit and run crash involving a bicyclist on Cedartown Road southwest of Jahaza Road near Wilder Branch.
They arrived to find the 54-year old male had been shot multiple times on the lonely stretch of dirt road with no nearby residents. He was pronounced deceased at the scene, and there have been no suspects named
“Our investigators have been on it since it was reported, but because of the remote location it is going to take a little more footwork,” Simmons told NorthEscambia.com on Friday. “Investigators are out there, starting with the scene and pushing outward.”
Anyone with any information on the shooting is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP or the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620.

gee golly thanks chrissy and billy, great work! cmon on down to the station, we would like yall to lead the investigation.
Was he shot while riding his bike just “near” the bridge or was he stopped at the bridge meeting someone. I’m sure they are checking phones. So many people have home cameras, doorbell cameras, etc. Check to see the vehicles in the area at that time. It was daylight. That spot is so swampy at the bridge. School buses and many other people use that road to cut through from 95 A into Molino. Its not like it’s so isolated and a dead end road.
I know that this probably sounds crazy but since it’s a secluded area maybe you need to check to see if any Deer hunters may have any cameras set up in the area. Just a thought. Praying for the family.
