Kyle Isaiah Baldwin, 28, was shot and killed around 2:00 a.m. on April 15, 2019, in Ensley, a neighborhood in Pensacola, Florida. He was found slumped over in the front passenger seat of a blue Chevrolet Blazer with a fatal gunshot wound to his lower chest after the vehicle was stopped by an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputy for erratic driving. Attempts to save him failed and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Bobby Johndal Hawkins, 25 at the time, was identified as a suspect and later arrested and charged with first-degree premeditated murder with a firearm and attempted first-degree premeditated murder. Hawkins was driving a black Cadillac XTS that reportedly chased Baldwin’s vehicle; shell casings were recovered along several streets and witnesses said Baldwin at one point exited his vehicle to confront occupants of the Cadillac. Authorities indicated another person in Hawkins’ vehicle also fired shots but had not been identified.

Anyone who witnessed the pursuit or the shooting, or who knew Baldwin’s movements that night, is asked to share information with investigators.
