Manatee County detectives are following new leads in the 2018 shooting death of Michael Angelo Jacoby Grantley in Bradenton.

Grantley, 42, was killed Jan. 15, 2018, in the 3500 block of 26th Avenue East.

Grantley was captured by a surveillance camera with a person at the WaWa store at 3703 N. Washington Blvd., Sarasota, on the day he was killed.
