Justin Vancleff Heilig, 34, of Salisbury, North Carolina, was killed on September 30, 2018, in Tampa, Florida. Heilig was found on the front porch of a home in the 600 block of South Willow Avenue in the Hyde Park neighborhood with gunshot and stab wounds. A neighbor reported hearing gunshots around 4:30 a.m.; Heilig was taken to a hospital and later died.

Investigators say Heilig and 25-year-old Melissa McNutt of Brandon met in Ybor City that night. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Heilig getting into the passenger seat of a 2015 black Nissan Altima matching a vehicle seen leaving the area after the shots. A bloody knife and a Pandora bracelet were found near the scene; DNA on the bracelet was reported to match McNutt. Detectives alleged McNutt shot and stabbed Heilig and left the area; she was arrested October 18, 2018, and charged with armed robbery and first-degree murder.

Surveillance video, the recovered knife, and DNA on the bracelet are described as central pieces of evidence in the prosecution’s case. Did anyone in Hyde Park or Ybor City see Heilig or the dark sedan that night?
