Roosevelt Ro Broadnax Jr., a 55-year-old Pensacola resident, was killed on August 7, 2022 at a home in the 8600-block of Walnut Avenue in Escambia County. Broadnax, born January 6, 1967, worked as a mechanic and in landscaping, carpentry and painting. Family remembered him as a devoted father, grandfather, brother and uncle who enjoyed cooking, playing dominos and watching Florida State University football.

Investigators later treated the death as a homicide. In October 2022, 20-year-old Raven Morgan was arrested on charges of murder and making a false report, accused of distracting Broadnax so another person could shoot him. Further investigation identified 53-year-old Kopelyn Gildon as the alleged shooter; Gildon, already serving a 20-year sentence on unrelated charges, was charged with second-degree murder and transferred to Escambia County Jail. Both defendants are awaiting court proceedings, with Morgan scheduled for a hearing on June 26.

Does anyone have information about Broadnax, his movements that day, or about the Walnut Avenue address?
