Florida Triple Homicide Suspect Killed in Shootout with Police En Route to Georgia

In a dramatic turn of events, the suspect in a triple homicide case in Florida met his end in a fatal shootout with law enforcement officers as he was en route to Georgia, allegedly with the intention of committing another murder.

Suspect's Identification

The suspect, identified as 28-year-old Javontee Brice, was pinpointed by witnesses as the perpetrator in the shooting of two women on Monday night, according to the Bradenton Police Department. This led to a statewide alert for Brice's vehicle.

Series of Shootings

Brice was first linked to the shooting of a 48-year-old woman at a Motel 6 in Bradenton, Florida, at 9:15 p.m. It was reported that he arrived at the scene and shot his own mother before fleeing. Less than 30 minutes later, a 29-year-old woman was shot while sitting in a parked SUV in Palmetto, also by Brice. Tragically, she succumbed to her injuries despite efforts by law enforcement to save her. Yet again, at 10 p.m., Brice was implicated as the gunman who shot a woman in the face at a home in Bradenton, resulting in her demise at a local hospital.

Confrontation with Authorities

After being spotted in Hamilton County, near the Florida-Georgia state line, Brice engaged in a confrontation with deputies at around 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday. This resulted in an exchange of gunfire, ultimately leading to Brice being fatally shot by the authorities.

Intended Murder in Georgia

Police revealed that Brice was on his way to Georgia with the intent to kill another individual. The women who fell victim to the shootings have not been publicly identified, and their relationships with Brice, aside from his mother, remain unclear.
