Sava Rajic, 53, was shot to death at his Pinellas Park condo in the 5000 block of 75th Avenue on November 7, 2016. Police say the shooting followed a heated argument with his cousin, Sergio Alexandar, who visited the condo between 1 and 2 p.m. to confront Rajic about allegedly poisoning him over the previous five years. Authorities report Alexandar shot Rajic with a revolver, then drove to Treasure Island and called local police to confess.

Treasure Island officers detained Alexandar and found two handguns, one reportedly identified as the murder weapon. Alexandar told police the shooting was accidental but was charged with second-degree murder and booked into the Pinellas County Jail. The case centered on family conflict and questions about Alexandar’s mental state and his poisoning claims.
