One of the replies is from me.
Actually killed in Sarasota in the 'wrong' part of town.

Not anyone we know I hope, not that its a grand thing to hear about anyone!!

They have made an arrest:

http://www.heraldtribune.com/article...sota-homicide-

"A 16-year-old teen was arrested this weekend in connection with the shooting deaths of two British men."

They were 'known' to the suspect, and found dead near a public housing project.

The BBC report said they were unknown...

Re: Brit killed in Miami
 

The suspect was known to the police

Re: Brit killed in Miami
 

Oops. My mistake. Read the sentence wrong as relating back to the victims and not to the police.

Re: Brit killed in Miami
 

Unless they were looking to buy drugs or hookers, sounds like they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
And shot by a 16 year old? Words fail me.

I wandered into the wrong area in Chicago once, it was after dark and I was sure I was on the right way to my hotel, but I wasn't. I was accosted by a homeless guy who wouldn't leave me alone. Thankfully I got away with being stripped of $50 and not shot in the head or raped. Cautionary tales both I suppose.

This was Sarasota... no one ever gets killed in Miami.

Sounds fishy to me though.. a public housing project, at 3am, with no open shops nearby?

Re: Brit killed in Miami
 

Well why do we have to put up with the ginger scrote everyweek? You telling me CSI is made up?

Re: Brit killed in Miami
 

Had to look up where Sarasota was. You could just about get away with calling it Tampa - but Miami?

Re: Brit killed in Miami
 

You need to say two englishmen murdered in sarasota....machine gunned down by a black teenager....perhaps a hate crime......the art college is right beside this housing project,too blame them for being in the wrong neighborhood and that they(tourist's)should know the area,is a pathetic response to an awful tourist murder......

Re: Brit killed in Miami
 

Machine gunned? Oh, my! I heard it was an RPG. A bazooka, even.

Hyperbole, much?

Re: Brit killed in Miami
 

Irrelevant, much? The bottom line is that two tourists died from another gun-related crime. Arguing about what kind of gun it was seems rather pointless and petty at this point.
