Floyd Lassiter, 53, of Saint Petersburg, Florida, was shot and killed on May 10, 2014 after confronting two men who were attempting to steal his Toyota Camry from his driveway. Lassiter, a retired U.S. Army veteran who had served 20 years and was employed at Crown-Euro Dealership, was awakened about 1:30 a.m. by noise outside his home. The suspects had earlier burglarized his house and taken the car keys and other valuables; when they returned to take the car Lassiter went outside and was shot multiple times in the upper torso. Emergency personnel treated him at the scene and he was transported to Bayfront Medical Center, where he later died.

Neighbors reported hearing multiple gunshots and described the community as shocked and saddened. Police responding to a shots-fired call found Lassiter critically injured; both suspects fled and, as of the latest information, no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the Saint Petersburg Police Department continues to investigate.

Did anyone in the Saint Petersburg area see the suspects or the stolen Toyota Camry that night?
