Dontae Lampkins, 25, of Tampa, Florida, was found dead in an alley in the Seminole Heights neighborhood on January 26, 2017. Investigators ruled his death a homicide and determined he died from upper body trauma. He had been dropped off by his sister for a doctor’s appointment on January 24 and disappeared after that visit; a passerby who reported hearing gunshots in the area discovered the body.

Lampkins was openly gay, and his family suspects his sexual orientation may have motivated the attack, though law enforcement has not confirmed that and no suspects have been publicly identified. His death was among several violent fatalities in the Tampa area at the time, contributing to community concern about targeted violence.

If anyone knew Dontae, his movements on January 24–26, or has information about violence in Seminole Heights then, please share what you know with investigators.
