Third Atmore Man Charged In Wallace Lake Road Murder In Pace
June 27, 2023
A third Atmore man was arrested Tuesday for a fatal shooting June 19 in Pace.
Joseph Liebe, 24, was in the area of Wallace Lake Road off Quintette Road and was shot while driving away. His vehicle crashed into a nearby wooded area.
The third and final suspect, 20-year old Ty’jerrious Keon Malone of Atmore, was arrested for first degree murder Tuesday afternoon. He remains in the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center awaiting extradition to Santa Rosa County.
Last week, Ja’cobey Quartise James, 20, was charged with first degree murder, and Marcus Terel Dickinson, 29, was charged with second degree murder. Both have been extradited to Florida and are in the Santa Rosa County Jail without bond.
Santa Rosa County Sheriff Bob Johnson said last Thursday that a definite motive is not known, but investigators believe it was a robbery. Johnson said there was no evidence of any drug activity, but it is believed the suspects had some sort of contact with Liebe earlier in the day and knew he might have been carrying money.
Shortly after the murder, deputies received a basic description of the suspect vehicle as a maroon Tahoe. That vehicle was later traced to Atmore, where search warrants were served on the vehicle and at the residences of James and Dickinson.
Johnson said that social media rumors that this was some sort of gang activity are not true.
“There is no gang activity,” the sheriff said. “We don’t have any evidence to link this to gang activity.”

Reader and Kara are out of touch with our laws. It’s not only in Florida- everywhere in the US deemed responsible for this man’s death. Chances are the two who didn’t pull the trigger will rat on the shooter and get a better deal in court. But they are all equally guilty. Compassion for these three – you got to be kidding!!!
An accomplice is someone who knowingly, voluntarily or intentionally gives assistance to another (or fails to prevent another from) the commission of a crime. The accomplice is criminally liable to the same extent as the principle. (A simple google search.)
It’s not just the law in Florida. The deal is – don’t get involved with stupid stuff! It’s a sad day when a good man, with family who love him, is dead and people are upset that all involved are charged. I’m glad they were all located and apprehended. A family ripped apart deserves nothing less than justice and justice deals with ALL those involved.
Prayers and condolences to the family – may you son, your brother rest in peace.
I’m not understanding the lack of common sense in a few comments. Where is the compassion for other human beings? These 3 basically hunted down this man cause they thought he had money and killed him. All 3 were up to no good and they know right from wrong by now. Law states if you a committing a crime and someone dies, everyone committing that crime is charged with murder as it should be! 1 of them could have spoken up and said this is a bad idea or hey let’s not take a gun into this situation but none did. Better yet, hey let’s get a job of our own to pay or own bills and be a productive memember of society. All this entitled bs meanings nothing at end of the day. This whole society lacks human compassion and respect for each other. I pray for that man’s family! And pray for the 3 ppl who didn’t have to do this. So many families are now in pieces.
I live in Pace and this makes me sick.Joey was a great kid and was killed for what?! A few dollars. I hope they fry
“I dont understand how they can all be convicted. ”
Welcome to Florida. Participate in a murder, you get convicted of murder, even if you didn’t touch the weapon. It’s an all for one deal.
I dont understand how they can all be convicted. Wouldnt prosecuter have to prove that they all three intended to commit murder while planning the robbery? It would seem only one could pull the trigger unless each had a gun. I’m not say what they did was right. Just wondering how it can work at trial.
Such a horrible situation for all of us when Murder seems to be the solution to greed.
Should these 3 be found guilty they should remain in prison for the remainder of their natural lives or execuited. Remove them from society,
