Sharon Sewell, 53, was found dead on October 30, 2017, on a rural, unpaved section of 61st Street in Vero Beach, Florida, in an area bordered by fields and trees. What was first treated as a possible traffic death became a homicide after an autopsy determined she died from a single gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators say Antonio McNeal and his cousin Keith Egbert Taylor had planned to rob Sewell of prescription pain pills. McNeal, wearing a court-ordered GPS monitor, allegedly drove Sewell to a pharmacy in southern Brevard County to pick up 90 Dilaudid tablets. Later that night the two men reportedly lured Sewell from the vehicle under the pretense of car trouble, shot her in the back of the head, and later sold the pills for about $600. McNeal’s GPS data and surveillance footage showing him and Sewell at the pharmacy were cited as key evidence, and Sewell’s burned purse and other items were found in woods near McNeal’s former home.

McNeal pleaded no contest to second-degree murder with a firearm, robbery with a deadly weapon, tampering with evidence, and giving false information; he was sentenced to 25 years. Taylor was convicted of manslaughter with a firearm and received a life sentence. Anyone with information about Sewell, her movements that day, or her prescription pickups is asked to come forward.
