A man in Manatee County responsible for tracking down and killing three women is dead after exchanging gunfire with deputies as he tried to cross the state line, the sheriff said.
It started Monday night at an apartment complex in Palmetto, Sheriff Rick Wells said at a news conference Tuesday morning. Javontee Brice, 28, reportedly went to the apartment where his sister and one of his ex-girlfriends, also the mother of one of his kids, were.
Brice reportedly said he needed to kill the ex-girlfriend, Wells said. However, the sheriff detailed that Brice's sister was somehow able to convince him not to go through with killing his ex.
The night didn't end there, however. Shortly after 9:15 p.m., Wells said Brice went to the Motel 6 on 67th Street Circle East in Bradenton. His mother, her boyfriend and two of Brice's young sisters were staying there, Wells explained.
Brice went into the room and reportedly told his mother, "I'm sorry."
"What did you do?" replied his mother, 48-year-old Titimysha Scott. That's when Brice took out a gun and shot Scott three times, Wells said.
Brice left immediately after that and Manatee County Sheriff's deputies and first responders arrived at the motel minutes after getting the 911 call. His mother was dead, but the others inside the room survived, Wells said.
