Potential Fourth Murder Victim of Tampa Serial Killer Found

by KERRY SANDERS, TRACY CONNOR and KALHAN ROSENBLATT

TAMPA, Fla. — A Florida man walking to church to feed the homeless is believed to have become the fourth victim of a serial killer shooting people at random in Tampa.

Ronald Felton, 60, was fatally shot just blocks from a memorial honoring three people who were killed within days of one another last month in the neighborhood of Seminole Heights in Tampa.

A spokesman for the Tampa Police Department, Officer Steve Hegarty, said it is not known if the shooting is connected to the three murders in October, but said it will be treated as such until authorities can rule it out.

As police scoured the area for a suspect, residents were told to lock their doors and stay in place.
