LaShawna Stevenson-Weeks, 27, was one of two people found shot to death on January 13, 2017, in the 5200 block of 15th Street Court East in Bradenton, Florida. She was discovered inside a Ford Explorer with three gunshot wounds, two to the head and one to the shoulder. Broken glass at the scene that was not from the Explorer suggested a bullet passed through Stevenson-Weeks and struck another vehicle’s windshield.

Berry Joseph, 32, was also found shot to death at the same location; the incident was treated as a double homicide. Investigators later arrested 22-year-old Andrew Thompson of Bradenton and charged him with two counts of second-degree murder after a witness identified him as the shooter. Evidence presented by police included a gray four-door Pontiac G6 linked to Thompson by alterations and fragments of broken glass found inside that matched the scene.

Thompson was also named in a federal racketeering indictment with six other men from Manatee County alleging involvement in multiple violent crimes. Does anyone have information about Stevenson-Weeks, her movements that day, or the area around 15th Street Court East?
