The murder of 32-year-old James William Earl remains unsolved, and his family and friends need your help in bringing the person or persons responsible for his death to justice.
On January 16, 2019, at approximately 6:52 a.m., Pasco Fire Rescue received a medical call at the residence of 14838 Glenrock Road in Spring Hill.
It was determined that the male victim sustained a gunshot wound and was found deceased in the driveway of his residence.

He was a graduate of Southeastern Univerity with an Associates Degree in Nursing and was just months away from graduating from the Aviation Academy when he was murdered.

James’ Mother, Tina Laney, spoke with The Free Press on Sunday and pleaded for someone to come forward with the names of those responsible for the death of her son.
