Angel Bailey, a 32-year-old resident of Escambia County, Florida, was fatally shot on March 25, 2023, on Mission Road in Escambia County. She was a mother of four children. The suspect named in Bailey’s murder is her cousin, Nathaniel Cunningham Jr., who was 18 at the time of his arrest and was wanted on charges of homicide, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, and violating probation.

After the killing there was a manhunt for Cunningham Jr.; he was apprehended in Santa Rosa County and booked into the Santa Rosa County Jail on April 6, 2023, with a hold for the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. Family members expressed grief and shock, and a relative publicly urged Cunningham Jr. to turn himself in without speculating on the incident’s details.

This case raises questions about what led to an apparent family confrontation and how the community can respond to protect surviving relatives. If anyone has information about the shooting or knew Angel Bailey, please share what you know.
