PENSACOLA, Fla. — An Okaloosa County man has been arrested for the murder of a Pensacola business owner.

On June 5th, ECSO deputies were called to the 3900-block of Creighton Road after a 63-year-old shop owner was found shot to death inside his business.

Surveillance video from the shop showed how the homicide unfolded. Brian Keith Easterling entered the business and shot the business owner over a dispute about prior business deals, where the victim allegedly owed Easterling money.

Easterling was located at his home in Holt, Florida, without incident.

Easterling, the chief of the Baker Fire District, was charged with premeditated murder and is awaiting extradition to Escambia County.
