Authorities will announce whether or not prosecutors will seek the death penalty against a 24-year-old man suspected of randomly killing four people in a Seminole Heights neighborhood.
Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren has called a 10:30 a.m. news conference Tuesday to reveal his decision in the case against Howell Emanuel Donaldson III.
Police say Donaldson gave a bag containing a handgun to a co-worker at a McDonald's restaurant on Nov. 28. She turned it over to a police officer who was in the restaurant.
The Seminole Heights neighborhood stopped many outdoor activities as the string of shootings stretched through October and into November.
The victims ranged in age from 22 to 60.
