TAMPA, Fla. - Tampa police arrested Garian Brown Friday morning and charged him with two counts of murder in a double homicide that occurred January 8, 2019.
For two years, police have been trying to locate and arrest the suspects responsible for shooting and killing a man and a woman on the 8700 block of N. Tangerine Place.
According to TPD, officers responding to reports of a shooting on January 8, 2019, found a Chevrolet Camaro crashed into a house. Police say the driver, an adult male, suffered a gunshot wound to the head. He was taken to Tampa General Hospital where he died.
