Third Suspect In Shooting, Pursuit, Bridge Jump Arrested In Texas
June 28, 2024
The third suspect that jumped off the Highway 90 bridge over Escambia Bay following a drive-by shooting and pursuit Monday has been arrested in Texas.
Terrance Lovelle Gross, Jr., 19, was arrested in Laredo, Texas, by the Webb County Sheriff’s Office.
“Gross is believed to be the third suspect who jumped over the Hwy 90 bridge,” the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said Frida. “Gross has been arrested and will be extradited to Escambia County, where he will face charges associated with shooting a 70-year-old female.”
ECSO said they believe Gross was attempting to flee to Mexico.
“On June 27, 2024, information was relayed to the Webb County Sheriff’s Office of Terrance Lovelle Gross Jr., a male suspect wanted for murder out of Pensacola, Florida, who was traveling to Laredo, TX,” Webb County said. “Through a collaborative effort with Department of Homeland Security (HSI), Department of Public Safety (DPS), and other law enforcement agencies a felony traffic stop was conducted on a white Dodge Ram at the intersection of Calle Del Norte and McPherson.” That intersection is about four miles from the Mexico border.
Texas authorities said, his father, Terrance Lovelle Gross, was driving the vehicle and later released. The passenger of the vehicle was identified as Terrance Lovelle Gross Jr.
Gross is jailed in Texa awaiting extradition back to Florida.
One suspect was killed in his jump from the Highway 90 bridge after deputies performed a PIT maneuver to stop their vehicle. Another suspect 19-year-old Jaquarius Trayquan Etheridge was captured at the scene after jumping from the bridge. Etheridge has been charged with murder while engaged in a crime for the death of the other suspect, attempted murder for the drive-by shooting, fleeing and eluding, and a weapons offense. He is jailed without bond.
The drive-by shooting with about 40 rounds fired happened about 6:30 p.m. Monday in the Erress Boulevard area near Montclair Elementary School area. A 70-year-old woman was reportedly shot in the neck. At last report, she was continuing to fight for her life.
ECSO K-9 Streeter jumped off the bridge in pursuit off Gross, Jr. He was treated and released and was expected to return to duty on Friday.

They let Daddy go. You’d think he would have been charged with accessory or aiding and abetting!
I was sure hoping this guy was gonna end up being alligator poop.
Do you think he said Daddy why are we going to Mexico dont you think we should go to Sheriffs Office..
PayDay Someday!!!!!!!!
It will come!!!!!!
I, as others here was rooting for the alligators. It is clear that our judicial system has no teeth. Alligators could handled his case properly.
LEO and all involved should not have had to do the search the water for him. Great job ECSO and Streeter for stopping this group.
Now, lets put some alligator teeth back into our judicial system and keep the thugs off the streets.
And I was so cheering for the Alligators.
Yea , my dad would have driven me to.
Straight to the sheriff. What a family crisis in this country. You run,you pay.
A 19 year old pensacola kid running away to mexico with daddy at the wheel.
Probably lucky they got caught, they wouldn’t live to tell the tales from down there!
Real criminals, real crimes, real punishments, REAL FAST!
So going south of the border was a plan?
What was worth shooting a person that you risk everything like this?
Was he connected to the drug guys in Mexico and he thought they was going to shelter him?
Now he gets free state lawyers and a place to never have to work again..
The father should have been arrested and charged.
The father, too, should be arrested!!
I was thinking maybe his head was stuck in the mud and he just had not floated yet.
Here is the problem with society….Father should have been arrested I can’t imagine why he was not. We basically have thugs raising thugs
The one that drove him to Texas should and probably will be charged he just thinks he got away with it !!!! Know what you didn’t watch and see !!! And the one he drove to Texas you gonna do some serious time with your new friends in prison !!! Now run from that dummy !!!!
Question: Why was the father not arrested? Driving him to Mexico to avoid justice. ???
The father knew good and well what had happened. instead of notifying authorities the guy was alive, he helped him escape. watching rescue personnel working in this heat thinking they would find a body. Unbelievable – I thought you couldn’t harbor a fugitive – he should be arrested and charged
I always root for the alligators once a criminal jumps in the water in an attempt to evade arrest.
The Sheriff Office needs to look at charges on the Dad for accessory after the fact since he was so willing to drive his son to the border.
