Tallahassee Police are asking the public for more clues they hope will lead to an arrest in the homicide of FSU law professor Dan Markel. Investigators want to know if anyone saw his car just before he was shot.
They are asking if anyone saw Markel’s 2008 black Honda Accord on Thursday, July 17, or the morning of Friday, July 18. According to incident report notes released this afternoon, a neighbor found Markel shot in the driver's seat of the car inside his garage on July 18. Another vehicle was seen driving away after the neighbor heard a loud boom.
Specifically, investigators are asking if anyone saw the Accord near I-10 at Thomasville Road, or near the intersection of Tharpe Street and Mission Road, or the FSU Law School or near Congregation Shomrei Torah synagogue on Kerry Forrest Parkway.
Markel’s license plate number was 534-YBM.
Crime Stoppers is offering $3,000 for any information leading to an arrest in the case.
