Stanley Peck, a 29-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in Tampa, Florida, on October 31, 2019. Neighbors reported hearing gunfire near North Fremont Avenue and West Walnut Street in the early hours of Halloween morning. Police found Peck dead outside his home from gunshot wounds; his partner, Tia Pittman, was critically injured at the scene and later died at a hospital.

The couple had recently moved back to Tampa to support Peck’s father, who had been ill and died in June. They had just welcomed a baby girl days before the shooting, and both children were in the home during the incident. Police say the attack followed an encounter on West Walnut Street with 26-year-old Tyrail Kendrick, who was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, robbery with a firearm, and possession of a firearm by a felon. Reports indicate the motive appeared to be a robbery attempt but exact details remain unclear.

If anyone knew Stanley, Tia, or has information about what happened that night, please share what you know.
