Rashud Jamal Dexter, a 29-year-old Black man, was found dead on October 16, 2019, at the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Stara Circle in Pensacola around 1:30 a.m. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of gunfire and located Dexter with multiple gunshot wounds; investigators say his death resulted from a gunfight in which he exchanged gunfire with at least one other person.

Two weeks before his death Dexter had been shot in the legs during a drug transaction on Lucerne Avenue and robbed of $15,000; he did not identify a shooter to authorities. No arrests have been announced and the investigation remains open, with officials reporting limited witness cooperation.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the events that led to Dexter’s death, please share what is known.
