Funeral Saturday In Century For Man Shot In The Face
June 17, 2009
Funeral services for the former Century resident shot in the face at a Warrington mobile home park will be held Saturday in Century.
Jeffrey Carl Kimbrough, 41, was shot about 3:30 Sunday afternoon in the 1500 block of Gulf Beach Highway in the Warrington community in the southwest part of the county in an apparent dispute over a stolen wallet.
Visitation for Kimbrough will be held Saturday from 9 to 10 a.m. at the New Life Baptist Church in Century. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m., also at the church. Internment will follow at the Century Cemetery.
During the time he lived in Century, Kimbrough was a member of Century Volunteer Fire Department.
Escambia County Sheriff’s deputies said Kimbrough confront Ellis J. McArthur of Bay Minette about a stolen wallet. That is when, according to deputies, McArthur pulled out a handgun and shot Kimbrough in the face. Kimbrough died Monday evening at Baptist Hospital in Pensacola.
McArthur, 17, has been charged as an adult with murder in connection with the incident. He is being held without bond in the Escambia County Jail.
