Deputies Seek Information On Suspect In Carver Park Shooting

June 29, 2023

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is seeking to identify a suspect in connection with a shooting last month at Carver Park.

Three people were shot and wounded during a “May Day” gathering the night of May 27 at the park on Webb Street in Cantonment.

Thursday afternoon, the ECSO released these photos of an individual seen walking in the park “with an AR style rifle”.

Anyone with information is asked to call the ECSO at (850) 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.

The shootings were reported in the area of Carver Park on Webb Street where a suspect opened fire into a crowd, striking the victims.

Hundreds of people had gathered that Saturday night in the area of the park and in the area of Muscogee Road and Highway 29 during the “May Day” event, according to witnesses. The ECSO said they estimated about 2,000 people were in attendance.

    @ Wow
    If it is a child all the more reason to get the person the help they need before someone is killed and not just wounded. And that’s bad enough.
    Someone, even if not at the event, knows something.

    He was seen. By plenty of people. They stay quiet for fear of retribution. This translates to gang activity. By remaining quiet, they encourage more shootings. A viscous circle.

    What a sad World…2000 people out there..No one seemed to see anything.People got hurt,But soon as the same thing happens to you or knock on your front door,you want people to come froward and speak (seen something say something).I just don’t understand.

    And right here is why these shootings, random and targeted, keep happening.
    These punks have put so much fear into the people in their neighborhoods and those who know them at such gatherings that there is Nobody who will be a Valid Witness and give names, addresses, vehicles, etc to the Law Enforcement.
    We hear “Not Gang Related” to many incidents yet it seems all trails lead back to money, drugs, turf wars, etc.
    Sad situations for us all.
