Victor Manuel Chavez, a 34-year-old Hispanic man, was killed on December 15, 2017, in Pensacola, Florida, during a drug deal on West Jackson Street. Deputies arrived after a man down call about 4 p.m. and found Chavez on the ground in bloody clothes, with guns, cellphones, and two large vacuum-sealed bags of marijuana nearby. Investigators said the transaction involved roughly $5,000 worth of marijuana and that one of the suspects had contacted Chavez earlier to arrange the meeting; gunfire occurred during the exchange, though reports do not specify who fired.

Multiple arrests were announced in connection with the homicide. Christopher Portis, 34, and Alex Shavers, 21, were taken into custody shortly after the incident and charged with murder, not premeditated, during another felony. Emanuel Dinell Adams, 21, was later sought and arrested in Tallahassee. Alexis Michael Martinez, 20, was identified and arrested in January 2018 and charged with homicide; police said cellphones and a bank card from the scene helped link suspects to the crime.

Does anyone have information about activity on West Jackson Street that afternoon or saw the suspects before the deal?
