Lorenzo Brunson, 34, was shot multiple times and killed inside his St. Petersburg home at 1036 13th Avenue South in the early hours of August 6, 2019. The shooting occurred about 3:20 a.m.; Brunson’s wife reported the shooting and paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.

Police arrested 32-year-old Anthony Bridges and charged him with first-degree murder. Brunson and Bridges were acquaintances who reportedly argued the day before; investigators say Bridges returned the next day and carried out the shooting in an apparent act of retaliation. Officers also found 39-year-old William Gilbert deceased in the street nearby; the connection between Gilbert’s death and Brunson’s killing has not been established.

Anyone with information about either incident is asked to come forward.
