Woman Charged As Accessory To Murder For Helping Her Boyfriend After Escambia Murder

September 2, 2023

An Escambia County woman has been charged with helping her boyfriend after he allegedly shot and killed a man in the parking lot of a nightclub in July.

Deomi Polyzos, 31, is charged with accessory after the fact to second degree murder. She was released on a $75,000 bond.

Michael Andrew Rodriguez, 39, was charged with homicide following the July 21 shooting at Sam’s Lounge on North Old Corry Field Road. He was released from jail on a half million dollar bond.

According to investigators, Polyzos drove to the lounge and picked Rodriquez up after the murder before making stops ” presumably to dispose of evidence/the firearm utilized”, an arrest report states. Deputies said  the couple went to Polyzos’ home, where he was later arrested.

The couple late spoke using video visitation from the Escambia County Jail, and she said she should not have brought him back to her home,” deputies said.

“These statements show that Polyzos was cognizant and aware that Rodriguez had committed murder and still assisted him after the fact,” the report states.

    So everyone is on here assuming! Unless you were there you should keep your opinions to yourself because you don’t know the whole story. It was self defense and afterwards Rodriguez panicked. It will all come out in the wash. DONT JUDGE, ONLY GOD SITS THAT HIGH!

    I cannot imagine why anyone charged with murder 2 would be allowed any amount of bond??????

    A person charged with a homicide should not be able to post bond for release. Especially someone who is a danger to others in the public. Convicted murder in the 1st degree should get capital punishment.

    I do not understand how a murderer is even able to have a bond set to begin with. It there a statue that Everybody has a right to a bond regardless of what they are charged with?

    I am always amazed how much cash these individuals have at their disposal to bond out. Most likely drug activity was the reason for the shooting in the first place. I know of a mobile home that’s supposedly selling fireworks and stays open year round. authorities need to start checking out certain “store fronts” – they might be surprised what they find

    I think she should get at least 15 years for her part in helping this moron of a so called man. Hope he gets life without parole
