3 arrested in death
ST. PETERSBURG (AP) – Authorities say they’ve arrested three more suspects involved in the shooting death of an 8-year-old girl over the weekend.
St. Petersburg police said Wednesday that they had three adult males in custody and were questioning them about the shooting of Paris Whitehead-Hamilton, who was sleeping early Sunday when someone fired more than 50 shots from a semiautomatic rifle into her home.
At a news conference Tuesday, Chief Chuck Harmon said the shooting appeared to stem from a feud that began a few weeks ago and escalated through the weekend. Police believe a man inside the home might have been the intended target.
A fourth suspect was arrested Sunday and being held without bond.
