Man Wanted For Questioning In Deputy Shooting
July 14, 2012
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office has named a man wanted for questioning in connection with the shooting of a deputy Wednesday night at the Oakwood Terrace Apartments on Truman Avenue.
Investigators are looking for 27-year old Antonio Emmanuel Moorer for questioning. He is described as a black male with brown hair and brown eyes. He is 5-foot, 7-inches, 156 pounds, and has numerous tattoos on his neck, chest and arms. Moorer also goes by the name “Dolphin Face” or “Lil T”.
Deputy Ryan Robinson, 32, was shot as he worked in the apartment complex. He has worked for the Sheriff’s Office since 2006.
A shot was fired into Robinson’s stomach, but his bulletproof vest stopped the round. He was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital by ambulance for evaluation. He was treated and released, and is now recovering at home on paid administrative leave pending a medical release.
The incident happened about 10:45 p.m. as three members of the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Tactical Anti-Crime Unit, also known as TAC unit, were conducting “proactive police work” in the apartment complex. Deputy Robinson gave chase, and one of the men fired at him.
Deputies quickly surrounded one apartment and removed four people, one of which they believed to be the shooter. In the meantime, someone stole an unmarked TAC Unit vehicle that was found abandoned a short time later a few blocks away at the intersection of Coons and Norris avenues. A manhunt followed in the area for the suspect with numerous officers, K-9 units and the department’s helicopter.
The manhunt for the suspect and the investigation continued into the early morning hours with the assistance of the Pensacola Police Department and the Florida Highway Patrol.
Anyone with information concerning Moorer’s whereabouts or the incident at Oakwood Terrace is asked to call the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office at (850) 436-9620 or Crime Stoppers at (850) 433-STOP.
