Tallahassee, FL – Tallahassee Police have arrested four people who are suspected of killing a yellow cab taxi driver over the weekend. Sascha Cordner has more.
The initial investigation revealed 29-year-old O-Bryan Brandy was shot two times at close range, after he had been dispatched to 1015 Idlewild Drive for a potential paying customer. TPD Spokesman David Northway says investigators later found a vehicle leading them to the four suspects:
"They developed information leading them to a white pickup truck. When they located the vehicle with the specific tag on it, they got a search warrant for the home that it was parked in front of and they served a search warrant for the home and spoke to the occupants of the home and was able to get more information to then make arrests in the case."
Northway says Brandy was shot as four people tried to rob him. One of the suspects is believed to have posted a poem about the slaying on facebook. The names of the four suspects are 22-year-old Davin Bowers and 20-year-olds Derrick Butler, Nelson Alexander, and Deondre Handsford. All were charged with first degree murder and robbery with a firearm. They are currently in the Leon County Jail.
