TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Police Department (TPD) has charged a man with the double homicide that occurred on Saturday.
Robert Webb, 65, was charged with two felony counts of first-degree murder, armed burglary and assault or battery.
TPD said the shooting happened near the 1100 block of Ray Charles Blvd around 1:15 p.m.
The investigation revealed that on May 27, Webb was told about some allegations that both victims had claimed about him, which angered the suspect, according to a TPD press release. Webb and the two victims were known to each other.
On Saturday, Webb parked in the garage of the apartment complex, gained entry to the stairs of the residential building, and waited for the victims in the hallway where they were fatally shot. Shortly after the shooting, Webb turned himself into officers and the firearm used in the crime.
Webb was booked into the Orient Road Jail.
Brides, families fighting for refunds after event venue closes suddenly
“We’ve struggled so hard to scrape the money to be able to do this for her,” Irizarry said. “She’s my only girl and I wanted this so much for her.”
Couples and families who had weddings and events planned at a well-known venue that abruptly closed claim they’re out thousands of dollars and aren’t being given refunds. Annette Irizarry was supposed to hold her 15-year-old daughter’s quinceañera in August at the Clearwater location and said she’s now out the $6,160 she paid. Without that money, Irizarry said she can’t afford to have her daughter’s celebration somewhere else.
