Rufus Montgomery, a 41-year-old African American man, was found dead on September 29, 2017, on New York Drive in Pensacola, Florida. Law enforcement determined he died of a gunshot wound and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office opened the case as a homicide.

Investigators sought help from the public, using media and social appeals and offering anonymity and possible rewards for tips. Despite those efforts, no immediate arrests were reported and the inquiry faced challenges due to a lack of concrete leads and witness information.

The case remains open and investigators continued to ask anyone with information about Montgomery’s death to come forward. Does anyone have information about that night on New York Drive or about people who might have witnessed something?
