Sharon Watkins, 58, was killed on June 27, 2015, in Tampa when several bullets fired from outside struck her bedroom in an apartment on the 1800 block of North Delaware Avenue. Police say she was an innocent victim caught in the crossfire of an ongoing neighborhood feud and that her death may be linked to retaliation between young people involved in local conflicts. Investigators suspect a relative of Watkins could have been the intended target, and describe the shooting as part of a chain of incidents in which each act appears to be a response to prior violence. Officers are patrolling the affected neighborhoods and asking anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone has knowledge about the feud, who might have been involved, or what led to the shooting, please share what you know with Tampa police.
