Escambia deputies seek help identifying homicide witness

Public assistance requested

Escambia County deputies are asking residents for help identifying a possible witness in a homicide investigation. The request is focused on determining who the person is and speaking with them as part of the investigation.

What is known

The homicide occurred in Escambia County, but the location, date and circumstances were not stated. Deputies have not publicly identified the possible witness in the information available for this brief.

No description, image, name or method for submitting tips was included. Residents should use the contact instructions issued by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office or law enforcement officials when those instructions are published.

What happens next

Identifying and interviewing a possible witness can help investigators establish what the person may have seen or know about the homicide. Deputies’ request does not establish that the person is suspected of wrongdoing; it identifies the person as someone investigators want to locate.

Anyone with information should follow official law-enforcement guidance rather than sharing unverified claims publicly. Further announcements from Escambia County deputies may identify the witness or provide additional information about the investigation.
