Dequarius Durant, 23, was killed April 14, 2014, in Pensacola, Florida. He was lured to an abandoned residence in the Mayfair community under the pretense of a drug transaction. When he arrived in his rental car at the location, at least 16 shots were fired into the vehicle; a bullet pierced his lung and he died at the scene.

Investigators say the shooting was a premeditated ambush carried out by a group upset over Durant’s alleged involvement in robbing local drug dealers. The investigation led to arrests and convictions: Jim Edward Williams, 23, was found guilty of first-degree murder and given life in prison. Terrance Jarrod Hartley, 24 at the time, was arrested, charged and later convicted with a life sentence. Gerald Anthony Parsons, 19, was also arrested and prosecuted for his role in the ambush.

Witness testimony and forensic evidence were central to the prosecutions, which portrayed the defendants as working together with the common goal of killing Durant. If anyone knew Durant, his movements that day, or saw activity in the Mayfair area on April 14, 2014, please share what might help investigators or the family.
