Deputies hunt for possible getaway car in double murder case
The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday released video footage of what detectives believe is a car driven by the suspect in a double homicide last week.
Lashawna Stevenson-Weeks, 27, and Barry Joseph, 32, were shot to death Friday outside a home in the 5200 block of 15th Street East, in the Oneco neighborhood.
No arrests have been made in the case, but detectives believe the suspect left the area in a dark-colored, four-door sedan.
“He was seen leaving this location southbound on 15th Street Court East heading toward 53rd Avenue East,” Sheriff Rick Wells said last week.
