Largo Man Gets 8 Years in Jail for Shooting Friend to Death

A Largo man will spend the next eight years in jail after accepting a plea deal for a May 2011 shooting that killed his friend 30-year-old Olester Clemons, according to a report by TBO.com. 

Jimmie Hickman, 34, was originally charged with second-degree murder and attempted second degree murder after he allegedly shot an AK-47 at Clemons and Ericka Satchell who did not leave his home quickly enough, TBO reported. 

There’s some dispute over what exactly Clemons and Hickman were fighting about. Satchell, then 20, who was Clemons’ god sister, said Hickman was making unwanted advances toward her, and Clemons was defending her honor. But Hickman told authorities he believed the two were in an incestuous relationship, and he wanted them out of his house, Thomas said.
