Tampa mayor tells officers to bring him killer's head

The mayor of a Florida city where three similar murders have taken place in recent weeks told police he wants them to bring him the killer's head.

"This guy is not going to win," Tampa mayor Bob Buckhorn said Wednesday during a roll call with officers in Seminole Heights, the neighborhood where Anthony Naiboa, Benjamin Mitchell and Monica Hoffa were gunned down.

Apparently the person killed 3 people all in the same neighborhood a few blocks apart and on foot. There is a video of someone strolling and running away minutes after someone was shot so he or she probably lives close by.

I hope they catch him soon. We may only get 1 life and I hate to see someone take that away from somebody but sociopaths couldn't care less about things like that.

but politicians need to watch it with the tough-guy talk. All it takes is one idiot gun owner to decide the random person he sees at night is the killer and we have an unnecessary death on our hands.

Any suspects should of course be brought in alive where possible.

Mostly posting because it is a recent story and learned more details about the neighborhood & suspect. I'm afraid the person may do it again especially becoming a national story and like other sociopaths may start making mistakes due to overconfidence over outsmarting the police or going based on a local story on criminal profiling.
