Caroline Morton-Hicks, 59, was shot and killed on February 12, 2018, in the parking lot between City Hall and the Pinellas Park Performing Arts Center in Pinellas Park, Florida. She had just finished practicing with the Pinellas Park Civic Orchestra and left rehearsal before an altercation erupted in the parking lot. Witnesses heard shouting and saw Morton-Hicks running from the scene; she was shot and found dead about 9:55 p.m.

Investigators say Morton-Hicks was chased by a suspect who then shot her. Detectives reviewed surveillance footage and interviewed witnesses to reconstruct the hour after rehearsal and to determine whether she knew her attacker or if the shooting was random. Two months later police identified Siddeeq Ma’Shooq, also known as Steven Brooks, a 45-year-old tenant of Morton-Hicks who had been served eviction notices, as the prime suspect.

On April 12, 2018, officers tried to arrest Brooks in Alabama; he fled in a vehicle. The next day a vehicle chase in Pennsylvania ended in a shootout in which Brooks died. Does anyone have information about Morton-Hicks, her activities that night, or knowledge of the tenant relationship that could shed light on what happened?
