Joshua Dante Terrell, a 40-year-old African American man, was shot and killed in St. Petersburg, Florida, on May 4, 2016. Multiple reports of gunfire brought officers to Central Avenue and 42nd Street around 6:33 a.m.; Terrell was found with a gunshot wound, taken to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg, and pronounced dead at 7:25 a.m.

The shooting happened on the street and investigators said the circumstances were unclear. Heavy morning rain may have washed away evidence, and police closed 42nd Street between Central Avenue and 1st Avenue South for several hours while the Major Crimes unit processed the scene. No suspects were immediately identified and no arrests had been reported at the time of the last update.

Terrell was survived by his wife, a daughter, two stepdaughters, and his mother; a funeral service was held May 14, 2016, at New Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church, with visitation and a wake the previous day at Smith Funeral Home. Did anyone in the St. Petersburg area see or hear anything that morning that could help investigators?
