Jeffrey Morrow Jr., 21, of Lakeland, Florida, was killed on the night of September 4, 2016, after a transaction arranged through the LetGo app turned violent. Jeffrey had recently moved to Polk County from Pennsylvania and was accompanying a friend to the Family Dollar parking lot on South Combee Road to sell an iPhone. An unknown black male, later identified as Victor Manns Jr., approached their vehicle, stole the phone and fled. Jeffrey and his friend pursued; Jeffrey was carrying a shotgun during the chase. Manns fired multiple shots, striking Jeffrey four times, including a fatal shot to the face. Jeffrey was pronounced dead at a local hospital shortly afterward.

Victor Manns Jr., 25, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder, armed burglary of a conveyance, robbery with a firearm, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and unlawful use of a two-way communication device. Investigators say Manns had used the LetGo app in prior similar robberies. The shooting prompted a sheriff’s press conference and renewed warnings about meeting strangers for online sales.

Did anyone who knew Jeffrey or who sold items through LetGo in Lakeland around 2016 witness anything relevant to this case?
