Alexander Cherp, 23, of Bradenton, Florida, was found suffering from gunshot wounds in the parking lot of Greenbrook Park in Lakewood Ranch on February 5, 2017. An on-duty security guard discovered him outside his 2012 gray four-door Mercedes just after midnight; Cherp was taken to a local hospital and died of his injuries. Investigators believe the shooting occurred between 11 and 11:30 p.m. on February 4, 2017, and have said he may have been targeted, though the motive has not been established.

Detectives identified two suspects. Alan Baily, 17, was arrested February 25, 2017, in a Bradenton Home Depot parking lot after resisting arrest and was charged with murder and armed robbery. Jose Hernandez, 19, was arrested February 18, 2017, and also charged with robbery and murder. Evidence cited by authorities included multiple latent prints inside Cherp’s vehicle, a .40-caliber shell casing in the rear passenger seat, cell phone data placing Baily near Greenbrook Park and showing calls between Baily and Hernandez that night, and witness testimony that supported probable cause for the arrests.

Does anyone have information about Cherp’s movements that night or the area around Greenbrook Park?
