The passenger, who remained in Murray’s parked vehicle during the incident, said they saw one of the subjects display a handgun and fire it in Murray’s direction.
Murray then reentered his car, stated that he had been shot, and drove himself, with his friend still in the passenger’s seat, to Winter Haven Emergency Room. Due to his injuries, Murray was airlifted to Lakeland Regional, where he succumbed to his injuries.
It is believed that Murray was acquainted with these male subjects and may have been called to the apartments so that they could rob him.
