Michael Jamar Bethel, a 28-year-old Black man, was found shot and killed in Tampa, Florida, on August 3, 2017. Deputies responded to a ShotSpotter activation for three rounds near the 1500 block of 143rd Avenue East just before 2:40 a.m.; they found Bethel with multiple gunshot wounds. He was on a bicycle when he was shot and died after being transported to the hospital.

Family members said a cousin had spoken with Bethel about 15 minutes before the shooting; those who knew him described him as a good person and a father. Deputies arrived within five minutes of the 911 call, but no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the case remains an unsolved homicide.

Anyone with information that could help investigators is urged to come forward.
