Old neighborhood but very popular for young professionals to buy.
They are thinking it might be a serial killer.
Near a bus stop, the young autistic male got off at the wrong stop by mistake.

Actually, it is most misleading for the newspaper writers to call the area of the murders "Southeast Seminole Heights." As a teenager I grew up in Seminole Heights and the southern boundary was generally regarded as Hillsborough Avenue, with the next successive streets to the north being Mohawk, Comanche, and Powhattan - thus the Indian theme for the area. The area of the murders is southeast of this area.
Perhaps they have expanded the area that they call Seminole Heights, but the area where I grew up is now called "Old Seminole Heights" and
this is the area where the "young professionals" have moved back in.
Actually, most of the "urban pioneers" who moved back in to Seminole Heights have been gay couples, who greatly improved the look of the neighborhood with refurbished houses with new paint jobs and tasteful landscaping. They were also activists who successfully lobbied the Tampa Police Department to drive strolling prostitutes off of a strip of Nebraska Avenue in the Heights. The ambiance of the neighborhood of the urban pioneers is different than that where the murders occurred.
Why do security videos seem to always be of poor quality? Because people skimp and try to save money by buying inferior cameras. It seems to be human nature. Also, the lighting and distance from the camera is inferior to studio quality.
The police must be very frustrated. Patrolling officers
heard the gunshots of the third murder, but could locate no suspects.
The video of the person seen walking in the area at the time of the first shooting is being circulated on social media in an attempt to develop leads in the case.
