The shooting happened about 11:45 p.m. January 1 outside a home on Tommy Street, just off Cove Avenue.  The man was transported to any area hospital where he later died.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said he arrived at the property and an argument followed between a group of people. Investigators said Burnette then shot the 48-year-old man.

Burnette was located the following morning in Santa Rosa County, and he was charged with loitering and resisting arrest by Santa Rosa County deputies. Escambia County deputies questioned him in Santa Rosa County and obtained Escambia County warrants for his arrest. He was transferred to the Escambia County Jail on Monday.
