Four years after a man was fatally shot in a neighborhood in Tampa, a second suspect has been caught in connection with the incident.
Timothy Kerr, 42 years old, a resident of Brandon, was taken into custody by investigators from Hillsborough County on Monday, August 21, on an active warrant charging him with second-degree murder with a handgun.
Kerr was successfully arrested by the cops after a brief foot pursuit that concluded near the intersection of North 56th Street and Oakland Drive.
This location is approximately two miles from where the initial incident took place.
Kerr is accused of being involved in the murder of a man whose body was found in the backyard of a property in the 6000 block of 43rd Street in Tampa in 2019.
Deputies allege that the victim was murdered in 2019.
“Through years of unrelenting investigation, our detectives have pursued every lead, and today, we see the culmination of their tireless efforts,” Sheriff Chad Chronister stated.
“We are thankful for our partnership with the United States Marshal’s Taskforce; this arrest exemplifies the power of collaboration in delivering justice.”
The investigation is still ongoing.
