CLEARWATER, Fla. – Clearwater Police homicide detectives continue to search for the vehicle involved in Monday night’s shooting that left one man dead and three other people injured.
The incident occurred at 9:30 p.m. in the southbound lanes of the U.S. 19 access road just north of Drew Street. That’s when the suspect vehicle pulled alongside the victims’ vehicle and someone fired more than a dozen times into the vehicle before fleeing the scene.
The suspect car is thought to be a black vehicle similar to a Nissan Altima with faded paint on the hood. It has silver rims, dark tint and dual exhaust pipes. The vehicle was last seen headed west on Drew Street.
One of the occupants of the victims’ car, 18-year-old Ivon Cobbs died after being flown to St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa. Another occupant, Marshae Walton, 31, is in critical condition at Bayfront Health St. Petersburg.
Two others inside the car, Yvonne Sanders, 24, and Evers Maxie, 24, also were shot. Sanders is in serious condition, while Maxie is in stable condition at Bayfront.
Detectives believe that the victims were targeted and that the shooting was not a random act.
