Two Injured In Shooting At Apartment Complex
BY IRIS B. HOLTON Sentinel City Editor
The Tampa Police Depart- ment has released the names of the two teenagers injured in a deadly shooting last week- end. Both of the victims re- ceived non-life threatening injuries.
Tee’on Milledge, 17, died as a result of his injuries. Tremon Staley, 16, and 17- year-old Christian J. Agosto, were both injured. Both have been released from the hospital.
According to police, at ap- proximately 10:30 p.m., last Saturday, two groups became engaged in an altercation. The altercation turned into a con- frontation and more than one person began shooting.
Police are uncertain about what started the confrontation near the intersection of E. 7th Avenue and Nuccio Blvd. However, they have said more than one person was firing a gun into the group.
The incident took place just as the Knight parade was ending. After the shooting started, the crowds of people
TEE’ON MILLEDGE 10/17/1999 to 2/11/2017
began running. Milledge was found on Lily White Court, in the Tampa Park Apartment Complex. He died en route to the hospital.
His mother, Ms. Tameka Milledge, said Tee’on had planned to graduate from Blake High School, where he was a 10th grader, and join the military.
He enjoyed working at Burger King in Brandon and enjoyed hanging out with his friends, Ms. Milledge said.
Ms. Milledge said she was told that her son was not the target, but stepped in front of the person who was the in- tended victim.
The family is no longer in
need of financial assistance for the funeral expenses. How- ever, Ms. Milledge said any- one who wants to donate flowers is welcome to do so.
The family has selected Jackson’s Funeral Home to handle arrangements for Milledge.
On Monday, members of the Grief Crisis Team were on the campus of Blake High School to help students strug- gling with the news of the teenager’s death.

Police Seek
Detectives with the Pinel- las County Sheriff’s Office have arrested a man and charged him with murder. The victim was an employee of an Oldsmar Restaurant.
According to police, about 1:07 a.m., Wednesday, deputies responded to Hen- nessy’s Bar & Grill, 127 Forest Lakes Blvd., in reference to an armed man.
When deputies arrived, they discovered 33-year-old David Patrick Brown, of Oldsmar, suffering from sev- eral gunshot wounds. Brown was pronounced dead at the scene. He had been an em- ployee of the restaurant for several years.
According to police, Brian P. Mytych, 43, of Tarpon Springs, was located still inside the business. He allegedly admitted to deputies that he shot Brown. The .45 caliber handgun used in the murder was located inside the busi- ness.
This was not the first time police were called to the busi- ness. On February 6, Brown and Mytych became engaged in a physical confrontation. When police arrived, they is- sued Mytych a trespassing warning.
Identity Of Man
Who Placed
A Tampa man has been charged with voyeurism for the second time. The charge stems from an incident that took place last year.
James M. McEwen, 28, of Riverview, surrendered to police on Monday. He was charged with a second count of voyeurism. The incident took place on December 27, 2016.
In this case, a 19-year-old woman was using the women’s restroom at Michael’s Craft Store, 2564 Brandon Blvd. While she was in the bathroom, a man used his cell phone to take photo- graphs of her. She reported the incident to the Hillsbor- ough County Sheriff’s Office.
An investigation took place and police issued a war- rant for McEwen.
The first charge came about when an undercover detective arrested McEwen on January 4th.
In that incident, police said shortly after 2 p.m., the undercover female detective went into the restroom at Publix Store, 3863 S. High- way 301.
Skimmer On ATM
BRIAN P. MYTYCH
Police said Mytych was intoxicated at the time he was told to leave the business. He was given a trespass warning, but refused to leave. Police arrested him and charged him with disorderly intoxica- tion.
Witnesses told police that Mytych came back to the business during the early morning hours of Wednesday and was told to leave the business. Mytych left, but returned to the restaurant, re-entered, and shot Brown several times. After the shoot- ing Mytych reportedly told the patrons to leave, and then he called 9-1-1 and reported the shooting.
Mytych was arrested without incident and charged with first-degree murder. He was transported to the Pinel- las County Jail.
JAMES McEWEN
The detective entered the restroom and went into a stall and while in there, she no- ticed the shadow of a person holding a phone, that ap- peared to be video recording her from within the next stall.
The detective used her own surveillance equipment and confirmed that McEwen was allegedly video recording her attempt to use the rest- room. She arrested him with- out incident.
He was charged with video voyeurism and transported to the Hillsborough County Jail. He was released after posting a $2,000 bond. He was re- leased on the second charge after posting a $5,000 bond.
The Tampa Police Depart- ment is currently attempting to identify a man who placed a skimmer on an ATM ma- chine at a federal credit union.
The skimmer was placed on the machine on February 11th, around 2 p.m.
According to police, cam- eras revealed that a white man in his late 20s to mid 30s placed the device on the ma- chine. The man has brown hair.
Within minutes of the skimmer being placed on the ATM at the GTE Financial Credit Union, 711 S. Dale Mabry Highway, a customer found the device and reported it to police.
Crime Stoppers of Tampa Bay is offering a reward of up to $3,000 for information that leads to the identification and arrest of the suspect.
Anyone interested in claiming the reward can do so anonymously and can contact Crime Stoppers of Tampa Bay at 1-873-TIPS (8477), or at www.crimestopperstb.com.
