Torrance Top Cat Hackworth, 32, was killed on December 24, 2012, in Pensacola, Florida. When Hackworth could not produce what they sought, the intruders bound him with duct tape, held his girlfriend and four children captive, struck him repeatedly with a firearm, ransacked the apartment, and forced him into the trunk of the girlfriend’s car.

The car was later found submerged in Pensacola Bay, and Hackworth’s body was located two days later in a vacant lot with multiple gunshot wounds. Four men were arrested and charged: Trevon Christopher Nelson, Deavis Saulsberry, Anthony Wilson Jr. and Deontrez Kitt. Prosecutors said the suspects had planned the robbery and kidnapping seeking money and narcotics; Nelson later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and armed burglary and testified against the others. Saulsberry, Wilson and Kitt were convicted of first-degree felony murder and armed burglary and sentenced to life in prison, with evidence in the trials including eyewitness testimony, DNA and other forensic findings.

Are there witnesses or neighbors who remember unusual activity in that neighborhood on Christmas Eve 2012?
