TOWN 'N' COUNTRY, Fla. — Nearly two weeks after a man was found dead inside a car at a Town 'n' Country shopping center, Hillsborough County deputies have released a video of the people they believe are responsible.
It happened just before 5 p.m. on April 23 outside the Panda Kitchen & Bath on Hillsborough Avenue. Deputies say they arrived to find a man dead inside a car.
A man who owns a cell phone store in that shopping plaza witnessed the entire shooting. "I saw the guys when they killed that guy," the Cell Tech Owner Mohamed Berjawi said. "They went to the car, slowed down and then they left from this plaza fast."
Berjawi said there was a customer inside his store when the shooting happened. He heard multiple gunshots. The sheriff's office didn't confirm how many gunshots there were.
After investigating, law enforcement officers learned that a gray Jeep Grand Cherokee drove up next to the driver's car in the parking lot, and one person exited the Jeep and began shooting at him. Video shows two more people getting out of the Jeep and firing shots before all three got back inside the car and left the parking lot. As they were leaving, one person is seen shooting toward the driver again.
"We are asking the public for any information that may lead to the arrest of these brazen killers," the sheriff's office said of the three men in the video.
The car in the video is described as a gray, newer model Jeep Grand Cherokee with black rims and yellow brake calipers.
Right now, investigators are not identifying the man who died. As for a motive, investigators said it's still unclear, but arresting the people involved will help them get answers.
If you recognize the people in the video, you're asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 813-247-8200 or share information anonymously by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-8477 (TIPS).
