Corporal Michael Joseph Roberts of the Tampa Police Department was killed on August 19, 2009, while on patrol in the Sulphur Springs area of Tampa, Florida. Roberts was taken to Tampa General Hospital, where he died later that night despite CPR and aid from his sergeant and fellow officers.

The suspect, described as a former U.S. Virgin Islands police officer, fled but was quickly captured by a K-9 unit and found armed with three handguns and a rifle. Reports state the suspect had a history of violent behavior and was carrying multiple firearms at the time. Roberts was an 11-year veteran of the department, a recipient of several commendations and a Life Saving Award in 2005, and is survived by his wife and young son.

Are there witnesses or additional details from Sulphur Springs residents that could add clarity to what happened that night?
