Jacoby “Shad” Young Death: Help Investigators find suspect in shooting that killed Greater Pensacola Jets player at the Moorings Apartments in Escambia County.
Investigators are looking for a shooter after a man is killed this weekend at the Moorings Apartments in Escambia County.
32-year-old Jacoby “Shad” Young is now identified as the victim in the shooting.
Shad will be remembered for his passion about football and his family.
“A female returned to her apartment, the individual she shares her apartment with was in a disagreement with two black males. That led them to shoot and kill him. Then they fled. We’re still putting the pieces together. They don’t appear to be random, in fact most of the ones we have are not random. There’s a basis for them, spontaneous targets that escalated to gunfire, or targeted events,” Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons said.
According to Sheriff Simmons, Young apparently knew his killer.
Young was part of football Coach Fred Barnett’s pro-minor league football team called the Greater Pensacola Jets.
