Paul Akpan Malishan, a 15-year-old from Pensacola, Florida, was shot and killed on November 19, 2019. He was found inside a car at the intersection of Garfield and Edison Drives after being struck through the rear window. Authorities say Paul was one of three people in a stolen vehicle and that the group had been attempting to burglarize another car when the owner confronted them. That confrontation escalated; the owner allegedly chased the stolen vehicle and fired shots from his car, one of which hit Paul.

Investigators identified Frank Webster Jr. as a person of interest; Webster, described as a convicted felon, was reportedly wanted on charges of possession of a firearm and ammunition. Brandian D. Lyons, 34, was also wanted for questioning. Paul reportedly had an outstanding warrant for grand theft auto at the time, and another passenger, Christopher Evans, was arrested on two grand theft auto warrants after the incident.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office continued to seek witnesses and information. Does anyone in Pensacola remember seeing activity near Garfield and Edison Drives that night or have information that could help the investigation?
