ST. PETERSBURG, Fla – St. Pete<\/a> police are investigating a homicide after they say someone shot a man who then crashed his car with an 18-month-old girl inside.<\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n Investigators say they responded shortly after 2 p.m. Sunday after a vehicle crashed into a parked car at Robco Transmission & Auto, located at 3101 Emerson Ave. S.<\/p>\n It was then discovered that the driver had suffered a gunshot wound. He was rushed to the hospital, where he died from his injuries.<\/p>\n “It kind of elevates the situation a little bit,” Ashley Limardo, a public information officer with the St. Pete Police Department, said. “It is still very sad and a scary time for the family of the driver, but as well now, we do have an 18-month-old that was sitting in the back seat, and, thankfully, she is okay, but could you have imagined if it was worse than that?”<\/p>\n READ: 3 people hospitalized after Dodge Charger goes airborne on I-75<\/a><\/p>\n The 18-month-old passenger is okay and is with family.<\/p>\n Police canvassed the area on Sunday afternoon, looking for witnesses and surveillance camera footage.<\/p>\n “Hopefully, some any residents that may have cameras on their property, if they can check the time it happened, after 2 p.m. on Sunday, if there’s anything that they think could be useful,” Limardo said.<\/p>\n What we don’t know:<\/p>\n Investigators have not released details on a possible suspect or what may have led to the shooting. On Monday, police said they’re still trying to identify a person of interest or suspect.<\/p>\n Detectives are trying to figure out where Howard was shot, in relation to where the crash happened.<\/p>\n “The details in between and how it all happened is something that our detectives are currently trying to figure out,” Limardo said.<\/p>\n What you can do:<\/p>\n If anyone has information, contact St. Petersburg Police 727-893-7780 or text SPPD plus your tip to TIP411.<\/p>\n The Source: Information for this story was provided by the St. Pete Police Department.<\/p>\n CLICK HERE:>>> Follow FOX 13 on YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n St. Petersburg<\/a>Crime and Public Safety<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ST.
