Kewhaw Dernard Thompson, 32, was shot and killed on December 16, 2020, at a residence in the 100-block of Concordia Boulevard in Escambia County. Deputies responded around 2 p.m. and found Thompson lying facedown in a bedroom with a gunshot wound to the chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators linked the shooting to drug activity involving the synthetic drug Spice. Witnesses reported Thompson arrived by vehicle and was confronted by 25-year-old Charlie Richardson Jr., who was armed and allegedly fired at Thompson as he exited his car, missing. Thompson ran into the house and a struggle over the gun occurred inside; Richardson reportedly gained control of the weapon and shot Thompson in the chest. Richardson was arrested the next day and charged with first-degree premeditated homicide and booked without bond.

Multiple prior search warrants had been executed at that residence for Spice-related activity. Does anyone have information about Thompson’s movements that day or about activity at the Concordia Boulevard residence?
