Man Charged With Shooting Girlfriend In Her Face
February 28, 2013
Multiple charges have been filed against a Pensacola man who shot his girlfriend in the face this morning during an argument.
Henry Blackmon, 21, of 4823 Sierra Drive, Pensacola, was charged with attempted murder, assault, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, vehicle theft, fleeing/eluding police, and driving with a suspended license.
The incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. at Blount Street and Watson Drive. The 23-year-old victim was driving a vehicle when she and Blackmon got into an argument. Blackmon then shot her in the face, pushed her out of the car and fled the scene, Pensacola Police said. The victim used her cell phone to call 911.
As police were responding to the area, Officer David Rogers saw the vehicle westbound on Cervantes Street. Officers Rogers and Coy McKenna followed the vehicle with emergency lights and sirens activated to “X” and Cervantes streets where Rogers intentionally collided with the suspect’s vehicle in an effort to stop it.
No one was injured during the collision but a chain link fence was damaged during the impact.
The female victim was taken to a local hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Her name has not been released .

Wow unknown are you freakin serious really
to unknown- he is not a bad person??? he shot a girl in the face cause he was angry! Help is what he needs, but also prison. you can’t just get mad a shoot people
r yall serious ppl make mistakes hes my brother and he is a great person i know the both of them couples have problems ppl make mistakes i dont think he should be put away for life and forgotten i think he just needs serious help and my family is going to do that i feel both of them was in the wrong if u knew them it would be different i feel it was a accident
Bet he gets less jail time than the lady who taped her dogs eye up in an effort to help it.
a dim future for that relationship
Put this idiot in prison for the rest of his life, thats where he belongs…
Two extremly young adults heading down extremely bad paths. If this incident does not straighten her out nothing will. Hopefully this young man does not get another chance, but unfortunately I don’t think this will be the last we hear of him. Filling up the jails with non-violent offenders too often puts dangerous individuals like him back on the street. Assuming he tried to shoot her, he needs to be put away for good.
He is charged with homicide on the jail records…. Pray the victim recovers and walks away quickly from this abusive relationship…..
I know who she is and she’s a beautiful young gal.. I sure don’t know what she saw in him. O) I hope she gets well soon..
look like some one needs to change his diaper as well..
Give him a sippy cup
