Derek Anderson, 21, was fatally shot outside his mother’s apartment in Tampa on May 18, 2010. Around 11:20 p.m. Derek and a friend, Joe Anderson, left a location together and noticed a white car following them; Joe said four males inside were staring. After they parted, Joe called Derek’s mother’s phone; Derek answered but the call cut out in static. A callback brought screams and raised voices, and Joe then found police and neighbors gathered at the apartment’s front door.

Officer John Simpkins arrived at 11:32 p.m. and found Derek unresponsive with a bloodstain; CPR was given and Derek was pronounced dead at 12:33 a.m. An autopsy found a single shot to the back perforated the heart, aorta, esophagus, and lungs, causing rapid death. Witnesses described four Black males leaving in a white car. Cell phone records placed Dontae Morris near the scene, Ashley Price said Morris admitted killing Derek after an argument over drug territory, and the bullet was later matched to a firearm Morris used in a later shooting. Dontae Morris was arrested and charged with first-degree premeditated murder.

Does anyone have information about Derek’s movements that night or saw the white car described by witnesses?
