MORE INFORMATION: Three more Alabama teenagers have been charged with the Pier Park shooting that left three people injured in Panama City Beach Saturday.
18-year-old Kevin Tyron Moore from Dothan, Alabama, was charged with three counts of Attempted Homicide.
15-year-old Jamarion Lamont Baker, from Dothan, Alabama, was charged with Attempted Homicide.
17-year-old Avaughn Ahmad Brown, from Troy, Alabama, was charged with Possession of a Firearm by a Minor, Possession of a Controlled Substance (Cannabis, approximately 68 grams), and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Brown voluntarily surrendered to authorities in Troy, Alabama.
Panama City Beach Police Chief Police Chief J.R. Talamantez had stern words regarding the Alabama teenagers causing problems.
“This trash that comes from that area,” Talamantez. He followed up by saying wonderful people are from the Dothan area.
Talamantez did not identify the suspects’ gang affiliation: “They don’t deserve to have their stupid names mentioned.”
He said the shooting at Pier Park was still under investigation, and that the suspects were talking.
“We know who you are, all right?” he said. “These little teenagers, they’re talking, they’re telling us everything we need to know… If you’re in the Dothan, Alabama area and thinking of coming back to Panama City Beach this weekend, you might be doing us a favor because we have arrest warrants for you.”
“The stupidity that you do at your home is not how (you) operate at our home,” Talamantez added. “I don’t know how many times we have to address that this is not the place for this type of behavior. If you commit a crime in Panama City Beach, we will hold you accountable.”
DOTHAN – PANAMA CITY BEACH FL: 12:19 PM Dothan Police Department, joined by Panama City Beach Police Department and the United States Federal Marshals Task Force have taken at least one suspect into custody in Dothan for the Saturday night shooting in Longboards located in Panama City.
Early this morning in a South College Street residence, Isaiah Tyshawn McKenzie, age 19, was taken into custody.
McKenzie has been charged for discharging a firearm from a vehicle within 1,000 feet of a person, possession of a firearm in commission of a felony offense, improper exhibition of a firearm, carrying a concealed firearm, and tampering with physical evidence.
Law Enforcement Officers from Panama City Beach, Florida, have been in Dothan questioning the suspects.
McKenzie will be kept in custody of Dothan Police or Houston County Sheriff pending signing a waiver of extradition. If McKenzie refuses, a Governor’s warrant will be obtained and and he will then go back to Bay County, Florida, to face justice.
IT IS A SHAME AND DISGRACE that young people from Dothan went to Panama City Beach and caused all of this.
GREAT JOB to Panama City Beach Police, Dothan Police Department, and the United States Federal Marshals for the due diligence and work.
