Latoya Gay, 26, was fatally shot on January 18, 2023, in the parking lot of Silver Oaks Apartments at 4200 Kenneth Court in East Tampa. Multiple people exchanged gunfire; family and police say Gay was an innocent bystander visiting friends when she was struck. She left two children, 7-year-old Jaida and 9-year-old Jayden, and her family says she was also pregnant with a third child discovered after her death.

The Tampa Police Department released surveillance video showing three people — two jumping a fence into the complex and a third walking with them — described as persons of interest who may have information but are not being labeled suspects. A 16-year-old boy has been arrested on firearm possession charges; he has not been charged in connection with Gay’s death. Friends and family held a candlelight vigil, and her sister Tiondra Parker has spoken about the family’s grief.

Anyone who witnessed the shooting or recognizes the people in the surveillance video is asked to come forward with information.
