Was Tampa Sexual Predator’s Past Crimes A Motive In His Murder?

Posted By 1 800 FIGHT IT

Kim Wilmath of the St. Petersburg Times is reporting that two cousins have been arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Miguel Antonio Gomez, a convicted sexual predator. Gomez was convicted in 1997 of sexual battery of a child under 16, false imprisonment of a child under 13 while committing sexual battery and attempted lewd and lascivious act on a child under 16. He also had a recent conviction on marijuana possession. It is unclear whether Gomez’s past crimes were a motive in his November 30 shooting death.

Deputies working the Hillsborough County case report that 22-year-old Christopher Rodriguez and his 16-year-old cousin Emanuel Rodriguez tried to rob Gomez in broad daylight as he was walking his dogs. The younger cousin shot Gomez twice in the midst of a struggle and then his older cousin fired two or three more shots into Gomez as he was lying in the street.

Posted By 1 800 FIGHT IT

Abraham Shakespeare was living with his mother and working as a truck driver’s assistant in 2006 that was before he won $30 million in the Florida lottery. Shakespeare vanished months ago and now Polk County sheriff’s officials are working the case as if it is a homicide. The sheriff’s have released the name of a woman who they labeled a “person of interest” in the case according to a story on the Sarasota Herald Tribune’s website

Shakespeare’s mother is hoping the 43-year-old is living on the beach somewhere in the Caribbean and not a murder victim. Shakespeare had numerous problems since taking a $16.9 million lump sum payment from the lottery including lawsuits and numerous people asking him for money. The possibility exists he disappeared to get away from all of that but in Lakeland, Florida authorities say there is too many bizarre circumstances to dismiss the possibility of a crime.

Argument Over DVDs Leads To Murder Charge In Sarasota

Posted By 1 800 FIGHT IT

There are so many silly things we fight over but one Sarasota man thought an argument over DVDs was worth punching another man. That decision led to a stabbing and murder charges. James Parker, a 60-year-old day laborer, has been charged with murder after he was discovered with a knife, which police believe was used in the murder of a 52-year-old acquaintance.

The incident began over DVDs of all things. According to police and a report in the Sarasota Herald Tribune, Parker and the unidentified victim argued over DVDs. The victim then punched the 60-year-old man twice in his face. At that point Parker grabbed a knife and stabbed the man in the chest. He later died at Bayfront Medical Center while Parker is being held in jail without bail.
