The Plant City Police Department is investigating the brutal murder of four individuals that occurred on Sunday morning, May 3, at two locations within the city.
Authorities responded to reports of a disturbance in the 300 block of West Tever Street, where four individuals were found. A 4-month-old and a 4-year-old sustained gunshot wounds and were pronounced deceased at the scene. Their 28-year-old mother was transported to a local hospital, where she later died from her injuries. Another child at the scene was not physically injured.
During the investigation, officers were led to a second location in the 900 block of North Burton Street, where a 55-year-old woman, identified as the mother of the 28-year-old victim, was found deceased from a gunshot wound.
As of Monday afternoon, officials have no suspect in custody.
Detectives are requesting assistance from the community, noting that some individuals traveled on foot between the North Burton Street and West Tever Street locations during the early morning hours. Residents and businesses are asked to review surveillance or doorbell camera footage from 5:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. on May 3, and to check for any video showing a woman walking with three young children in the vicinity of North Burton Street, West Tever Street, or surrounding areas.
