Patricia Ann Whitfield Sharpe, 66, was one of three people killed in a shooting at a Saint Petersburg home on February 16, 2021. The victims included Patricia, her 83-year-old great-grandmother Sallie Hobbs Whitfield, and a 45-year-old uncle, Antonio Maurice Graham. A woman at the residence escaped and called for help; police found the three deceased inside while a 2-year-old child at the scene was unharmed.

Authorities identified Patricia’s grandson, Cornelius Whitfield, as the suspect. He was taken into custody after a standoff that ended when a SWAT team tore down the front wall of the house to gain entry. Cornelius had been wanted in an earlier shooting that month and faced prior convictions and prison terms for drug offenses; he was charged with multiple counts, including first-degree murder in the deaths of Patricia, Sallie and Antonio.
