According to SPPD, officers arriving on-scene found a 21 year-old, seated in a white F-150 pick-up truck. He suffered a gunshot wound to the upper body and was transported to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg.

Initial medical reports indicated that wound may have been cause by a starter pistol firing blanks, however during a CT scan a bullet was located and the victim will be going into surgery. Medical staff do not believe his condition is life threatening at this time.

The suspects involved are believed to be two black males last seen leaving the area in a white sedan, possibly a Nissan. Investigator also report that at this time the shooting appears to have drug overtones.

  1. This proves how incompetent are police for is. let me think for one god damn second. because they obviously don’t know how to. Doughnuts must kill brain sells way worse then the so called illegal drugs they try to racketeer off. But enough of the chit chat I want this case to be solved so im gonna put in my input. there are cameras in every fucking direction uhh duhhh its a mall. sears camera hooters camera all the other bars and shit. best buy has about upteenth billions running 24/7. gas stations right there to like 3 shit if you ask politely and correctly. A drone probably filmed the whole damn thing. I honestly think the police force Is behind this poor attempt of murder. Only cops can be that stoopid.

    • If the Tyrone Sears store cameras are as good as mine, they’re not. Any image taken past the third handicap spot is useless. Hooters faces the food court, opposite direction, and all the bars are on the opposite side of the mall. It appears to be in front of the JC Pennies, which has NO front-facing cameras. The closest gas station to the Tyrone Mall is the Chevron on Tyrone/38th, with no line of sight. Believe it or not, big brother does not have cameras everywhere. Mall/store cameras are meant to protect merchandise and sometimes employees, not random people in the parking lot.

      My two-cents on the matter, considering the mall’s location/populace, Tyrese and Jose probably tried to hit up Adam for drug money, Adam went for his pistol in his glove compartment, but Tyrese and Jose were faster, and popped him one in the chest before running.

      Also, get a fucking spellcheck. I am in physical pain from reading your comment. Expect a call from my lawyer.
