Homicide Arrest Made After Woman Shot, Ran Over At Apartment Complex Behind Nine Mile Kohl’s

January 3, 2025

A homicide arrest has been made following the death of a woman after being shot and ran over Thursday night near an apartment complex behind Kohl’s on Nine Mile Road.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said they responded to the area of an apartment complex on Baldridge Drive about 8:30 p.m. to find a 30-year-old woman suffering from gunshot wounds.

“The investigation determined that she had been shot and then run over by a vehicle multiple times. The victim was transported to a local hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries,” ECSO said.

The investigation led deputies to the suspect, 30-year-old Charles Jerome Carson-Dowdy. He was arrested in Spanish Fort, Alabama. He is in the Baldwin County Jail awaiting extradition back to Escambia County to face a homicide charge.

    He’s probably thinking I be gone get bout 20 years !!! Well good news you may get the death penalty. At least life with NO chance of parole and hopefully the ones in there will teach you a good lesson. I got a good reason to say you won’t make it out alive!!’

    This is my Sister and my family is devastated. For him to senselessly take her life for no reason, away from her son and our family, she was a brilliant student, an all around beautiful person and this person took her from us.

    This monster murdered a Nursing Student. She was a very sweet and wonderful person. I hope everyone will keep her family in their prayers.

    Glad they caught the guy. He shot and then ran over the person on the ground several times with his car. Extremely dangerous and disturbed individual – hope he never gets out of prison

    So is there a killer on the loose?

    This crime increase is partly the fault of lack of city incorporation. Pensacola only covers 52-55k residents, meanwhile the area around Pensacola holds over 250k residents. (Not including Cantonment to the North) ECSO is stretched to thin and way to underfunded by the County. This why when people push back against city annexation, this is the result. You get poor response times by authorities and a volunteer Fire Dept. I live in the city limits and it’s worth the extra tax I pay knowing PPD is quick to respond.
