Michael Jermaine Lawson, 31, was last seen January 24, 2013, in Pensacola, Florida. Security footage shows him parking a silver 1997 Honda Civic at the Brentwood Shopping Plaza on Brent Lane about 7:30 p.m. and getting into another vehicle. Witnesses reported hearing gunshots shortly afterward and saw the car Lawson entered speed away. His Civic was later found still running in the plaza parking lot with the keys in the ignition.

Lawson had a history of drug dealing and multiple arrests, but family members said he had recently secured a job and was reconnecting with relatives, and that it would be out of character for him to disappear without contact. Family members suspect foul play and note a possibly related drug-related shooting earlier in January that killed one man and injured two others; Lawson’s cousin was arrested in connection with that shooting, though authorities have not confirmed a link to Lawson’s disappearance. The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is investigating and the case remains unsolved.

Did anyone in the Pensacola area see Lawson or his silver Civic on January 24, 2013, or have information about who was driving the vehicle he entered?
