Bernard Jinks, 26, was shot and killed at his Fairview Cove Lane residence in Tampa, Florida, on February 5, 2018. Neighbors reported hearing gunshots around 11 a.m.; deputies from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office found Jinks with multiple gunshot wounds and he was taken to Tampa General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigation led to the arrest of 21-year-old Tampa resident William Dennard Jr., who was found near the scene carrying a loaded 9 mm pistol. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Dennard approaching Jinks with an arm extended while Jinks backs away before being shot. Dennard was charged with second-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and carrying a concealed weapon.

The case record emphasizes surveillance video and the firearm recovered as key evidence. Does anyone have additional details about the shooting, the people involved, or the area around Fairview Cove Lane on that morning?
