ECSO seeking 2 home invasion suspects; investigating if 3rd was shot in head by homeowner [View all]

Source

Escambia County deputies are investigating an armed home invasion where it is believed an intruder suffered a non-fatal gunshot wound to the head from the homeowner.



Simmons said the homeowner was in the house alone when three men, one armed with a gun, shoved their way inside. The victim reportedly pulled his own handgun from his waistband, but dropped the weapon. One of the three intruders picked up the gun, but the homeowner was able to run to a backroom and retrieve an "AK-47-style gun," Simmons said.

The men fled the residence, but investigators were able to identify two of the suspects as Antonio DeWayne Dean Jr., 18, and Da'Torrance Leanders Hackworth, 20. Arrest warrants related to the home invasion have been issued for both men. Dean also has active warrants for previous alleged offenses including domestic violence battery, carjacking, aggravated assaults with a firearm and robbery with a firearm, Simmons said.

Simmons also emphasized the homeowner would "absolutely not" be charged for shooting at the suspects. "The homeowner's protecting himself, and in Florida, in Escambia County, you can protect yourself," Simmons said.
