Police seeking murder suspect
Brundidge man sought after murder
Published Thursday, October 22, 2009
The Dale County Sheriff’s Department continues to search for a Brundidge man suspected of murder.
Everett Rico Newson, 24, is the second suspect sought in a shooting of Level Plain man Marcus Blackmon Sunday night, said Dale County Sheriff Waley Olsen.
Blackmon, 42, was in his residence on County Road 109 Sunday night when two entered his home, ransacked his house and shot him.
Olsen said Blackmon’s girlfriend and a friend were in his home at the time the shooting took place.
“They pretty much ransacked the home looking for money and drugs is what we believe,” Olsen said.
After shots were fired, Newson and Jarmon Demetrius Barrow, 23, also of Brundidge, are alleged to fled the scene on foot through the woods behind Blackmon’s home.
Olsen said Barrow was apprehended later that night, after he was seen walking on the side of the road.
But, the search for Newson continues.
“We’ve pretty much been trying to track down Newson ever since,” Olsen said. “That’s what led us to Troy.”
Olsen said it is believed Newson may be hiding in Pike County.
He is described as a black male about 5’5 in height and 232 pounds.
Olsen said he believes the suspects had some prior interaction with Blackmon.
“I believe they had been introduced to Mr. Blackmon,” Olsen said. “This was not the first time they’d been over there.”
Barrow remains in the Dale County Jail on charges of capital murder. Newson is wanted for the same.
Anyone with information is asked to contact their local police department, as members of Pike County law enforcement have been assisting in the efforts.
“We really appreciate Sheriff Thomas and everyone helping us trying to locate him,” Olsen said. “Them, and the Troy and Brundidge Police Departments have been assisting.”

It would be nice if The Messenger provided a photo of Newson. The description is helpful, but a photo would be even better.

Seems every day there is another murder.
It would be a good idea to post a picture of the suspect and suspects when needed so the public can help the police....I agree AlabamaDreamin.

Wonder if a pic is in the hardcopy version? While the convenience of online newspaper is great, alot of things don't get put online like photos, and alot of great stories as well. Hope they catch the guy.

I certainly hope that they find this man! It really is unfortunate that people can't even have peace of mind in their own home! I think that every responsible, law abiding citizen of the U.S. should be issued a protective weapon, that is to remain in the home, in a safe, after being given a thorough background check! Is that a little extreme, or does anyone agree with me?

Linden,what good would it do you if it is locked in a safe when someone kicks in your door you would be dead before you could open the safe.I agree law abiding citizens need a gun in their home but where they can reach it when needed.

WDM your right about that . Might as well not have the gun if you can't get to it in time to use it .Mine is loaded and believe you me it's where I can get it if needed .

Well, I agree with both of you, and maybe a safe isn't the answer, but for people with children in their homes need to make a responsible decision as to where to keep a weapon from ever reaching the hands of their children.

Linden I agree that where you have children you need to be very careful that they cannot access them . I live alone so I didn't stop and think about that possibility . Thanks for the reminder .

5' 5" and 232 pounds is a good start for looking for someone.
Just hope they find him quickly before someone else is hurt.

Fox, the word, firearms is not in the second amendment. As far as rifles not being effective against our F22s and Tanks, tell that to the Taliban. Even though I disagree with your view on gun control, I think that its pointless to even argue with you about it. I am far more afraid of a misinformed or zero liability voter than I am a gun owner. A stupid person with a gun can only harm as many people as there are bullets in the magazine. A clueless voter can destroy this nation. Now that I think about it, you may be right. We have the right to keep and bear arms as a means to fight against tyranny, and at the same time elect tyrannical leaders to office. And before you fresh squeeze your fruit of the looms, I'm not just talking about our current President. This as been going on for decades in all levels of the federal government.

First of all, I am a 12 gauge man. .22s are for squirrels. Second of all, while a firearm is an arm, arms not defined as ONLY firearms, but they are included in the definition. So, banning firearms is the same as banning arms. Third, a violent civil uprising in the U.S. would never be started by those of us that love our country. It will be squashed by us. The military is made up of men and women that understand what tyranny is and the importance of defeating it. A tyrannical leader would surely have a difficult time going house to house and taking weapons from the citizenry. The second amendment is just one more thing to make our federal government an little less imposing to the individual. A LAW ABIDING American citizen that owns a firearm is a citizen has the ability to preserve their liberty when their government is unwilling or unable. Can I just ask you if there is anything in your view that is good about this country or its constitution? You seem to have a problem with most of things that make America great.

A clueless voter is one that doesn't know or care what the President stands for. They just vote for what they see on the outside. And again, I have been saying this long before now and long before Obama.

I'm a 16 guage and 20 guage woman accented by my trusty friends "Smith and Wesson" on hand just in case...and headlining that cast is my good sized pooch. He never misses either. <s>

Self protection is a right, and a responsibility. It's always refreshing to see that most of us take that seriously.

I sure do take it seriously AlabamaDreamin
Before I picked up my pistol after my clearance...I asked at the gun store where I could practice loading....firing....and unloading. At the time my husband and I went to this man's house the next day. He had a small range behind his house. He taught me everything I needed to know.
I did not even want to handle it until I knew everything about it. There was no problem with my shotguns because for a long time I shot trap and skeet....and knew everything about them.

England outlawed guns and their murder rate has jumped over 300%. We outlaw guns and the crackheads would have a field day. The reason bad guys pick their victems is due to easy targets. Take away our guns and were all easy targets. Fox get yourself a gun, you seem to be a bright fellow but obviously have never been a victim of violent crime. The bad guys will have their firearms.

Once a victim...always a victim because you never really get over it....that is if you are fortunate enough to have survived a potentially deadly and vicious crime/attack.
After a while you get angry...and that anger needs to be focused on the fact that you will never allow that to happen again and will use whatever it will take to remain a suvivor within the eyes of the law.

FoX....
First of all I never said that I "carry a firearm around with me"....YOU did. You obviously know nothing about me and never will.
Your analogies at times are so far out and without merit. You base facts on the personal scenarios of others that you know absolutely nothing about but pretend you do trying to make yourself look smarter than you actually are.
Your info is not exclusively yours.....because most of what you post has been "googled"...and when you rant on and on it just shows your ignorance about people and life in general...because you are incapable of voicing anything worthy of discussion and lack any respect at all towards another's opinion.
Not long ago you called the hard working people of Troy "simpletons". That says a lot about your arrogant and self centered character.
Another example of your self-centeredness:

So, furthering your analogy inaword, if there were no computers then their wouldn't be any stupid comments on this forum. Problem solved.

FOX You finally get it! Congratulations.
So in keeping with my own mindset....until you show a bit more respect for others when you post....I really don't care what you say about me that suits your little fancy.

Thank you Bamabunny for saying what most of us think . I ignore his so called comments but to get to the point sometimes you have to refer to his . Regardless , if someone should ever decide to do him harm they would not necessarily have to use a gun . A baseball bat would also do the job .

Bama,I second what elvis2 said,I seldom read what FoX,VOR,troll,blue-sky post but I have read enough to know what kind of person he is.He thinks he is smarter than anyone else but shows his stupidity by his comments.He also claims not to be these other people but all you have to do is read a few of his comments and Ray Charles could see it's the same person.I pray there isn't more than one person like him.

You "don't get it" and you never will.

The "irony" FoX....is simply that you still "don't get it" and you never will....and I still don't care what you say about me.

Fox has any one ever told u to "man-up", and after being asked to man up , did this word "man-up: make you feel uncomftable, exposed,paranoid or maybe like hiding in a closet. You get what i want to know with out asking you outright.

BamaBunny Im a 38 special kind of girl myself...lol...
and banning of guns wouldnt help ANYTHING..the bad folks would still illegaly acquire them. same as they are doing now...they need to worry about the UNlicensed people carrying guns instead of those of us who are..i have one next ot my bed and you bet anything if someone threatens me il have NO issues pulling the trigger...Ill take my chances b/x at least with a gun i have more of a chance than simply sitting there and letting them shoot me...and its proven that having a gun USUALLY makes the thiefs or whatnot run themselves...most of them are cowards anyway...

I hear you BeachGirl...
I pretty much feel the same way.
I was told a long time ago by a homicide detective that criminals are more afraid of being bitten by a dog than being shot.
So I guess you might say I have 2 angles covered lol
But yes....I feel too that most criminals are cowards plus the fact that most feel that women are easy marks. They don't think that now a days most women are indeed in control of their own environment and they need to think twice before doing women harm.
