Larry Quanell Fountain, a 30-year-old African American male, tragically lost his life on December 20, 2019, in Pensacola, Florida. Larry was a father of three and a computer engineer known for his involvement in the gaming community. He was found dead from a gunshot wound at The Pines at Warrington apartments, just outside his home. His fiancée, LaKandria Millender, and their children were inside the apartment at the time of the incident.
Larry had just returned home from work when he was shot, and his death has left his family and community in deep mourning.
The investigation into Larry Fountain's death revealed that his murder might be connected to an ongoing feud between two individuals, Tyree Sims and Kewauntez Matthews, both 26 years old. This feud, believed to be drug-related, had already resulted in multiple shootings in the area. Detectives found ties between this feud and Larry's murder, suggesting that his death was not a random act of violence but rather a targeted attack. Despite these connections, no arrests have been made directly in relation to Larry's murder, and his fiancée continues to seek justice for his untimely death.
The Escambia County Sheriff's Office and the Pensacola Police Department have been working together to curb the violence stemming from this feud. Both Sims and Matthews have been arrested on drug charges, but the investigation into Larry's murder remains open. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward, as Larry's family, especially his fiancée and children, are desperate for closure. The community remains hopeful that justice will be served and that those responsible for Larry's death will be held accountable.
