Quentin Hicks, a 42-year-old African American man, was killed on March 27, 2019, in Saint Petersburg, Florida, after a road rage confrontation. Hicks was driving a BMW convertible near 17th Avenue NE and Bay Street NE in the afternoon when an altercation over a traffic incident escalated and a man fired into the BMW. Hicks and his passenger were struck; the car crashed into a tree a few blocks away and Hicks died of his injuries while the passenger suffered serious injuries.

Police identified 31-year-old William John Shutt as the shooter after reviewing surveillance footage and tracing a blue SUV connected to the incident. Shutt, who reportedly did not know Hicks, was arrested on April 3, 2019, after entering his girlfriend’s home without permission and was charged with first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder and residential burglary. Friends and family remember Hicks as a beloved person taken too soon.

Does anyone have information about that afternoon near 17th Avenue NE and Bay Street NE or remember seeing the blue SUV?
