Skky Ralphel Shine, 30, was found shot to death on November 10, 2014, in the front passenger seat of a white Toyota Avalon in the Blackberry Ridge neighborhood of Beulah, Pensacola. Deputies arrived after a 1:30 a.m. call and discovered a single gunshot wound to Shine’s head. An acquaintance, 26-year-old Terrance Piece Soles, was in the same vehicle and was taken into custody that night.

Soles later called police again and asked to be met at his mother’s home, where he admitted to shooting Shine. Forensic testing by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement matched a 9mm pistol found in Soles’ lap to the spent casing and identified Shine’s DNA on the gun and casing.

Soles was charged with second-degree murder, convicted by an Escambia County jury in June 2016, and sentenced to 40 years with a minimum of 25 years to be served day-for-day under Florida’s 10-20-Life statute. Shine’s parents, Cynthia and Douglas Shine, spoke publicly about their loss. Does anyone have information about Shine’s last hours or the relationship between Shine and Soles that could shed light on what happened?
