Teeon Milledge was 17 when he was shot and killed on February 11, 2017, at the Tampa Park Apartments, 1015 Lily White Court, during the annual Sant'Yago Illuminated Knight Parade. He was among a group watching the parade when a confrontation between his group and another group at the housing complex escalated to gunfire. Two other teenagers suffered minor injuries.

Authorities described the shooting as connected to an ongoing feud between rival gangs in the area, and investigators said no suspects were immediately arrested. The case drew attention because it happened during a well-attended community event and because numerous witnesses were present, yet the investigation made slow visible progress in the months after the killing.

Teeon’s death underscores the toll of gang-related gun violence on families and neighborhoods. If anyone who was at the parade or the housing complex that night has information that could help identify those responsible, please come forward to the Tampa Police Department.
