Man Killed Tampa Area Woman And Called Her Baby Daddy Saying “I Did It Just Like I Told You”

Author Babs

I live in St. Petersburg which is not to far from Seffner so this story hits close to home. Rest In Peace to Ashley Voss who was shot and killed outside of her grandmothers home. According to her family Ashley was a loving mother and her whole life was her children, may she rest in peace.

Hillsborough County sheriffs tells us that on July 20th, Ashley Voss returned home to her grandmothers house. On a neighbors ring doorbell camera, you can see Aurelio Diaz walking up to Voss’s car and shooting her through her car window. According to one of Voss’s family members there was no motive because Diaz did not know her that well. There was nothing that she could have done to want to make him want to murder her.

However, according to court documents the same Ring doorbell camera captured the baby’s father with Diaz on Orange Street in Seffner the night of the murder.  Detectives also set up a phone call and they could hear Diaz telling the baby’s father, “l did it just like l told you, walked up to the back window, and boom.”

When detectives interviewed the baby’s father he told detectives that “at no time did he talk (to Diaz) about killing the victim, shooting the victim, or harming the victim. They were only playing a “prank”. Yeah, I don’t buy it and im sure detectives don’t either.

The baby’s father at this time is only a witness and that’s why we are not naming him. He is not a suspect. Diaz remains in the Hillsborough County jail. He’s facing one count of first-degree premeditated murder.

I really hate stories like these. How can you kill a mother? She has two young sons who will never get to grow up and have her around. I will keep you updated as hear more.

Which Florida City Made The List With Highest Murder Rates In U.S.

There’s lots to love about the Sunshine State, but we’re also notorious for the craziest crimes. One Florida city even ranked in the top 15 for highest murder rates in America. It’s not really a list we love to see Florida on, but we can’t say we’re not surprised with all the insane stuff that happens here.

Our friends at neighboorhoodscout.com ranked the top 30 cities in the country with the highest murder rates per 1,000 residents. They condensed their research by including cities with 25,000 or more people. They collected their data by the number of murders reported to the FBI to have occurred in each city, and the population of each city. The city population data comes straight from the US Bureau of the Census at the time of each analysis. For instance, the 2022 list population uses 2020 population figures. The 2021 list uses 2019 figures, and so forth.

There were 14 new cities making the list this year. “The newcomer on this list with the highest murder rate is Saginaw, MI. The number of murders in Saginaw more than doubled from the previous year.” Thankfully (and surprisingly) only one Florida city was ranked in the research.

Here’s the top 15 cities with the highest murder rate. Click here to see the full list.
