Three similar murders have occurred in a Tampa neighborhood in the span of two weeks, leading to talk of a possible serial killer.
Tampa Police Chief Brian Dugan said officers are still searching for “someone who has been terrorizing a neighborhood” in the Seminole Heights district of Tampa.
The latest victim was Anthony Naiboa, 20, who was murdered on Thursday.
Naiboa, who had autism, was shot after accidentally taking the wrong bus home from work.
Dugan said officers were in the neighborhood and heard gunfire while canvassing the area: “One of our officers was able to find him, but it was too late,” Dugan said in a recorded statement.
