An officer with the Eustis Police Department initiated a traffic stop. During the stop, a sergeant observed the front seat passenger, later identified Colville, appear to remove something from his front waistband area and place it on the seat, according to police.

Eustis Police officers reported finding a .40 caliber Ruger semi-automatic handgun with an extended magazine on the passenger seat, along with 48.6 grams of methamphetamine, smoking devices, $2,300 in cash, and “several items related to the sale of narcotics” in Colville’s backpack.

“In the same backpack, items to disguise his identity were located such as a wig attached to a ballcap, glasses, and makeup. Colville also had makeup on, in an attempt to conceal some of his tattoos,” Eustis Police said.

In addition to the murder warrant, he was charged in Lake County Florida with armed trafficking in methamphetamine, possession of firearm by convicted felon, carrying concealed firearm, improper exhibition of dangerous firearm, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Alyssa Marie Blackburn, 22, and Lawrence Bonner, Jr., 44, were both previously charged with principal to first-degree premeditated murder.

The victim was identified by family members as 22-year old Jesse Allen Geoghahan.

On October 29, the ECSO responded to the 1000 block of Medford Avenue where they found Geoghahan. with multiple gunshot wounds. He was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced deceased.

Blackburn contacted the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office to report that he had been shot inside the residence.

Bonner allegedly gave Colville the gun used in the murder. According to the Sheriff’s Office, Colville shot Geoghagan twice inside a closet, before shooting him a “few more times” as he limped out of the bedroom.

They fled in a stolen 1996 Toyota Avalon, which was later found burning under the Mobile Highway Bridge over Eleven Mile Creek.

A security system in the residence captured the murder, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

    Well Jacob Colville has a long record b4 this senseless act of taking Jesses’ life. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office needs to keep him for life this time because each past charge and him being released just gets worse and worse to the point he took another person’s life this time. PLEASE DO NOT LET HIM OR THIS TIME!!!! HE DOES NOT DESERVE TO BE OUT IN SOCIETY, CAUSE ALL HE DOES IS CONTINUE TO SELL DOPE THAT ALSO KILLS PPL!!! KEEP HIM AND THE OTHER TWO , HELP MAKE OUR COMMUNITY SAFE FROM THEM NOW!!!

    Why? You wanted him gone so bad it’s worth sitting in prison for your lives? Did you think you would get away with it? Bet you wish you would have not done this, but you did, all 3 of you. Enjoy your reward for taking someone’s life.

    Praying for the families of all involved. We don’t raise our kids thinking they are gonna do something like this when they grow up. A lot of people think their hands are tied when it comes to disciplining their children. But it’s still on us to do so. I’m not blaming the parents my no means. Just saying. We need more discipline for our children, who thinks they are owed something in life. The government has parents so scared to spank their children when they do something wrong that they don’t do it. The kids are the boss in most households these days.

    PTL thst this one is behind bars like his accomplices. This great family, of the victim, deserves justice. There shouldn’t even be a trial due to this atrocious act was caught on camera. Only one may have pulled the trigger but all 3 are guilty of murder. This one makes no sense but here we are. Continuing my prayers for this family and I hope these 3 get just what they deserve and get it quick so this family can HEAL from this…
