St. Pete Police is looking for a man wanted for second degree murder.

Denzel Rashad Tarver, 26, is accused of shooting 34-year-old Timothy Karl Davis on May 15 at 11th Ave. South and 23rd St. in St. Petersburg.

Authorities say officers arrived on scene about 90 seconds after receiving calls of gunshots being fired there. Officers administered CPR to Davis until medical personnel arrived, but he ultimately died as a result of the gunshot wounds.

Now a warrant is out for Tarver's arrest. He is described as 5'2" and weighs around 140 lbs. He is considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information on his location is asked to call St. Pete Police Department at 727-893-7780, or they can text the keyword "SPPD" and their anonymous tip to 847-411 (Tip-411).
