Nicholas Bronson Pierce, 37, was booked into the Escambia County Jail on a charge of first degree felony murder,
On January 31, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office found a white male face down in the dirt driveway in the 1300 block of Blue Angel Parkway. The victim was deceased with multiple gunshot wounds to his back, leg and side, according to investigators. Multiple shell casings were found near the body. Witnesses reported seeing a black Chevrolet Impala and a blue Honda Accord in the driveway prior to the shooting.
The resident of the home told deputies that he had never seen the victim before.
Pierce’s arrest report does not indicate how he was developed as the suspect.
In August 2021, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded n armed disturbance at a residence on Pilgrim Trail West. Pierce entered a residence and pointed a gun at his mother’s head and yelled, “I’ll kill you [expletive]‘, according to an arrest report.

This menace has been working his way up to murder had to murder my friends young son. He’s a violent man and a danger to society and you should be incarcerated for the rest of his life at the least. No parole
Although the Eighth Amendment protects against excessive bail, there is not an absolute right to bail, as noted in The Bail Reform Act, 18 USC Chapter 207. Section 3142 of the Act denies bail to certain defendants pending trial, specifically denying bail to defendants likely to flee or pose a danger to society.
Really , he was found to have a gun by a felon and was sprung out of confinement by our useless judges. And months after his arrrest he kills. DUH!
When everything get totally out of control and everyone starts seeing how stupid our system is then things start happening !!! Murder !!! Got to be the worst charge there is as you see now they all look back and go what happen??? He should have gotten a different sentence !!!!
the illustrated man, seems you chose your path long ago, with any justice society will not have to deal with the likes of you. which sadly is long overdue.
I’m so tired of criminals getting off with a slap on the wrist. It seems like nothing anyone does is bad enough for jail time any more. It’s no wonder people are testing the limits of the judicial system by committing far worse crimes after not being jailed for the ones they’ve already committed. A life could have been saved in this case had this idiot been in jail from the get go. Now, if only he is sentenced to some hard time. I’d like to see how this plays out – whether he gets 5 years or LIFE.
Politicians,
Eliminating probation and parole for violent offenders, would reduce violent crime by 60-70%. No room in prison? Release and parole nonviolent offenders. I’d rather have a thief on the loose, than a murderer.
mother probably didn’t want to testify or was not a good witness for the state in the initial case , maybe house arrest was with mom? , maybe she is the latest victim , no innocent people hurt , system worked great .
His minimum sentence from the worksheet was 3 years with a maximum of 20 years. How this person managed to get 12 months of community control and 24 months of probation is hard to fathom, considering his criminal history and obvious disrespect for the rule of lay. 5-10 years of prison would not have been out of the question.
Had he been given life, this would have never happened. Stiff penalty? Some would argue the sentence. The man facedown in the driveway would differ.
This guy has been arrested 13 times!!!!!! Thomas Dannheisser and Linda Nobles are the judges that sentenced him. They are a joke, next voting time VOTE them OUT. If anyone wants to look this guy up, go to Escambia County Clerk of the Courts. Click on Records, then on Court Records, put in his name (Pierce, Nicholas) and you will see all the arrests and the sentences that are jokes. When looking at the Judgement and Sentencing info, for his last arrest, the Habitual Offender line wasn’t even marked.
This man should have been put away for good when he held a gun to his mom’s head and this victim would have never lost his life. SMH. This judicial system needs to be cleaned up in a bad way. We wonder why these creeps are walking the streets, because these judges don’t have to deal with them after they come through their court. They could care less what they did to society, they will start caring if something happens to one of their family members until then nothing will be done they will get a slap on the wrist and let out to kill someone in the end. This is very sad but very true, think about it…
What in the world are the judges thinking when they set such light sentences on dangerous people?!?! I absolutely cannot understand the judicial system of Escambia County. Perhaps Governor Desantis needs to convene a board of inquiry into the inner workings of how the sentencing for different types of crime is being determined, and have an oversight committee of some type to see that the proper sentencing is carried out.
Yeah, I’m wondering why he wasn’t already doing time, as well. They need to send him to Chattahochee forever.
Wow. Anyone else who’s a convicted felon gets a minimum mandatory 3 years in state prison. How in the heck did this guy get probation? This murder would have never happened. The state’s attorney and judge needs to be investigated.
If you look at the court website you will wonder why this guy wasn’t in Prison.
I thought our court systems were there to protect us.
A judge allowed this guy to walk among us.
That’s wrong.
Why the light sentences? Political?
The reason his sentence was so light was because he didn’t have the gun when he was arrested. It’s in his arrest report.
Failed judicial system! Firearm possession and aggravated assault only garnered 12 months community control. The sentencing judge should also be booked into the same cell.
Wait Wait Wait Wait. A convicted felon caught with a firearm and only got 24 months probation and community control for 12? Theres a minimum for that of like 25 years. Why did he get handed off so light?
