Man fled the scene after shooting his 69-year-old father in Port St. Lucie
THEY SAY THAT MAN DIED AT THE SCENE. AND THEY DO BELIEVE THIS IS DOMESTIC RELATED. WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND LISTEN IN. RESPONDED TO THE LOCATION BEHIND ME IN REGARDS TO A MALE WHO HAD BEEN SHOT. WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR IS THAT VICTIM, GLENN MORRISON, 69 YEAR OLD MALE, WAS SHOT BY 41 YEAR OLD SHELDON BRYAN MORRISON, WHO IS HIS BIOLOGICAL SON. SON THEN FLED THE SCENE IN A BEIGE OR GOLD CADILLAC SEDAN THAT WAS IN HIS POSSESSION. WE DO NOT HAVE A TAG ON THAT VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. HE’S PRESUMED TO BE ARMED WITH A SEMIAUTOMATIC HANDGUN, AND HE IS CURRENTLY BEING SOUGHT FOR MURDER. CAN YOU TELL US WHAT LED UP TO THIS? SO IT’S STILL REAL PRELIMINARY. I DON’T HAVE A LOT OF INFORMATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO. THE SON RETREATED INSIDE THE HOUSE, CAME INTO POSSESSION OF A FIREARM, RETURNED TO THE GARAGE WHERE HE SHOT HIS FATHER. HOW DID YOU GUYS GET THE CALL AS A MALE SHOT IN THE GARAGE AT THAT LOCATION? I MEAN, WHO CALLED YOU GUYS? FEMALE CALLER PRESUMED TO BE THE VICTIM’S WIFE. HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE HOME AT THE TIME? JUST THE VICTIM, HIS WIFE AND OUR SUSPECT. DID THE SUSPECT LIVE WITH HIS PARENTS? I BELIEVE THAT IS ACCURATE. ANY CRIMINAL RECORD? NONE THAT WE ARE AWARE OF AT THIS TIME. NOTHING THAT CAME TO OUR ATTENTION. NO PRIOR CALL HISTORY AT THIS LOCATION EITHER. ANY INDICATION OF WHERE HE COULD GO? WE DON’T HAVE THAT INFORMATION RIGHT NOW. HE FLED THE AREA. WE THINK THAT POSSIBLY THE VEHICLE HEADED THROUGH TRADITION MAYBE GOT ON I-95 AT THAT POINT. BUT AGAIN, WE DON’T HAVE A TAG. WE’RE ACTIVELY WORKING ON GETTING A WARRANT TO. TRACK SOME TECHNOLOGY, BUT THERE’S NO BELIEF THAT HE MIGHT HAVE DITCHED THE VEHICLE AT THIS POINT. WE DON’T KNOW. WE JUST DON’T KNOW. WE KNEW WHAT HE HAD WHEN HE LEFT HERE, AND WE JUST LIKE TO POINT OUT ANYBODY WHO SHOULD OBSERVE, AND WE’RE GOING TO SHARE HIS PHOTOGRAPH AND EBOLA WITH ALL OF YOU AND ANYBODY THAT SHOULD SPOT HIM, LOCATE HIM. PLEASE JUST CALL 911. DON’T ATTEMPT TO CONTACT HIM. HOW DANGEROUS IS HE? IT’S HARD TO SAY. YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO PRESUME THAT HE’S DANGEROUS. HE JUST SHOT AND KILLED HIS FATHER AND FLED THE SCENE. BELIEVED TO BE ARMED. SO I CAN’T STAY HIS STATE OF MIND, RIGHT? IT’S OBVIOUSLY NOT NORMAL TODAY. ARE WE ABLE TO REPORT THE HOUSE NUMBER? I KNOW THAT WAS SOMETHING WE’RE TRYING TO KEEP UNDER WRAPS TO NOTIFY. THE PIOS WILL GIVE THAT INFORMATION TO YOU. OKAY. AND, CHIEF, ANY YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE THIS ON HAND, BUT ANY PAST CALLS FOR SERVICE AT THIS RESIDENCE? HAS THERE BEEN ISSUES IN THE PAST? YEAH. I SAY WE HAVE NO PRIOR CALLS AT THIS LOCATION. SO NO PRIOR HISTORY BETWEEN THEM. WHAT DOES THE SEARCH LOOK LIKE FOR HIM RIGHT NOW? IS IT ALL ON, YOU KNOW, IN VEHICLES, ANY SORT OF HELICOPTERS, ANYTHING LIKE THAT? WELL LED LEFT THE AREA IN A VEHICLE AND WE BELIEVE THAT HE GOT SEVERAL MILES AWAY BEFORE THE FIRST LOCATION. WE SAW HIM TRAVELING. WE DON’T BELIEVE HE’S RIGHT IN THE IMMEDIATE AREA, ALTHOUGH ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE. WE’RE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH THE U.S. MARSHAL SERVICE AND WE’RE SHARING THIS INFORMATION OBVIOUSLY THROUGH NCIC WITH ALL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. SO WE’RE ALL LOOKING FOR HIM RIGHT NOW. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THE SON HAD LIVED HERE WITH THE PARENTS? I DON’T KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW. WHETHER PRIOR CALLS TO THIS HOME BEFORE. NO, NO PRIOR CALLS. AND IS THAT GUN LEGALLY LIKE, LIKE IN HIS POSSESSION? WE DON’T KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW EITHER. GUNS NOT HERE. SO WE, YOU KNOW, ANY REASON WHY YOU WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO GET A TAG ON IT ON THAT VEHICLE AND YOU HAVE IT? HE’S KNOWN TO WORK ON ON VEHICLES FOR OTHER PEOPLE. SO THE VEHICLE THAT HE’S DRIVING MAY NOT BELONG TO HIM. DO YOU HAVE TIME FOR 1 OR 2 MORE QUESTIONS? THEN WE GOT TO GET BACK TO IT. YEAH. CHIEF, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR MESSAGE TO HIM RIGHT NOW? I DOUBT HE’S LISTENING TO THIS, BUT IF HE WERE TO BE, WHAT DO YOU HOPE HE KNOWS RIGHT NOW? INEVITABLY, THE BEST COURSE OF ACTION IS JUST TO PULL OVER. CALL 911, REACH OUT. LET US KNOW WHERE YOU ARE AND YOU KNOW, LET’S HEAR YOUR SIDE OF THE STORY. YOU KNOW, DON’T MAKE ANY POOR RASH DECISIONS AT THIS POINT IN TIME. ANY INDICATION THAT THE VICTIM WAS ARMED IN THIS? NO. CAN I JUST ASK ONE MORE OF THE COMMUNITY? WHAT YOU ASK COMMUNITY TO. NO. LAST ONE. THEN WE’RE ALL DONE AGAIN. I’D LIKE THE COMMUNITY JUST TO BE AWARE OF WHAT OCCURRED, WHO OUR SUSPECT IS, KNOW THAT HE’S WANTED FOR MURDER AT THIS TIME, AND IF ANYBODY HAS INFORMATION THAT MIGHT HELP US LOCATE HIM, WE’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM THEM. SO CONTACT 911 OR REACH OUT TO THE POLICE STATION AND LET US KNOW HOW THEY CAN HELP US, BECAUSE WE APPRECIATE THAT. AND IF YOU SHOULD HAPPEN TO SEE HIM COME IN CONTACT, PLEASE JUST DON’T. DON’T CONTACT HIM. DON’T TRY TO TALK TO HIM. JUST CALL 911 AND WE CAN GET EVERYBODY. CHIEF. THANK YOU. EVERYONE OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SIR. ARE YOU WERE JUST LISTENING TO THE PORT SAINT LUCIE POLICE CHIEF. AS THEY ARE IN THE SEARCH FOR A MAN THEY SAID SHOT AND KILLED HIS OWN FATHER IN PORT SAINT LUCIE. THIS HAPPENED IN NORTHWEST KYOTO CIRCLE IN THAT VICINITY. HAPPENED THIS MORNING. THEY’RE ABOUT TO GIVE THE MEDIA ON SCENE.
