Elizabeth Harris, a 20-year-old woman from Pensacola, Florida, was killed on May 27, 2019 after being struck in the back during a burst of gunfire outside the Platinum Club on Palafox Street. The shooting happened around 2 a.m. in the club’s overflow parking lot when members of the Bro Gang fired 44 shots from seven different guns, aiming at a rival; the intended target was hit once. Elizabeth was at the club with her sister and friends for a concert and was not involved in the gangs.
Police linked the attack to a feud between the Bro Gang and the Cash Gang that began in 2017 and had led to more than 22 shootings in the community. Pensacola Police arrested three people in connection with the case: Markeasia James, 17, and Tequan Warren, 18, were charged with first-degree felony murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, and shooting into a vehicle; Dante Walker, 19, was charged as an accessory after the fact. Cordellious Dyess, 19, remained at large with warrants including first-degree felony murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, and shooting into a vehicle, along with additional weapons and criminal mischief charges.
Elizabeth’s mother Tawana Campbell and sister Vallie Harris spoke publicly after the arrests about their loss. Does anyone have information about that night or about the wider gang feud that could help investigators or provide context?
