Florida Woman Found Dead Next To Her Sleeping Toddler
The Tampa police department tells us that a mother was found dead next to her sleeping child on Monday night. According to reports, deputies were called to Pictorial Park drive located in New Tampa. When they arrived, they found a woman lying in the street. They also found a toddler sleeping in a SUV. The child was unharmed but his mother had upper body trauma.
Police say the victim who is in her 20’s did not appear to live in the neighborhood. Her body was discovered by someone as they were walking. The child is safe and with a relative.
Crystal Clark who is the Director Of Communications for the Tampa Police released a statement saying, “The best thing we can do for this family right now is to find a way to provide them with justice.” If you have any information please contact TPD at 813-231-6130.
Her mother has contacted me at the radio station, and asked me to post the link to her daughters gofundme. The story gets more heartbreaking because the woman was also 5 months pregnant at the time.

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.
