St. Petersburg – A third suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of 39-year-old Reginald Booth, marking an important development in a case that has drawn significant attention from local law enforcement and the community. Dnerius McCullough, 31, was taken into custody on August 1 in Riverview with the assistance of U.S. Marshals. He is believed to be the individual who fired the shots that resulted in Booth’s death.
Booth was shot multiple times on July 29 in the 1200 block of 9th Avenue South in St. Petersburg. Authorities found Booth lying in the roadway, and he was later transported to Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries. His death has prompted a thorough investigation by the St. Petersburg Police Department (SPPD).
On August 3, the SPPD arrested two other suspects in the case: Larrion Boyd, 18, and Keshaun Lamb, 19. Both Boyd and Lamb are currently facing serious charges of felony murder and armed kidnapping. All three suspects, including McCullough, are charged with the same offenses, emphasizing the gravity of the charges stemming from the tragic incident.
While the investigation is ongoing, authorities have not yet disclosed any motive behind the shooting. Speculation and community concern continue to grow as residents seek answers about the circumstances surrounding Booth’s death. The police department has also withheld additional details regarding the suspects and the events leading up to the shooting, which has contributed to an atmosphere of apprehension within the neighborhood.
The SPPD is urging anyone with information related to the shooting to come forward as they continue their investigative efforts. This appeal for information reflects the importance of community cooperation in resolving violent crimes and ensuring the safety of local residents.
The death of Reginald Booth highlights ongoing issues of violence within urban areas, and law enforcement officials are focused on not only investigating the current case but also addressing broader concerns about crime in the city. With the recent arrests, authorities are hoping to bring some level of closure to Booth’s family and to the St. Petersburg community.
As the investigation unfolds, law enforcement is expected to release further details regarding the incident and the suspects’ backgrounds, providing the public with a clearer picture of the events that led to this tragic loss. Until then, the community remains on high alert, monitoring the situation closely as the SPPD works diligently to gather more information and provide justice for Reginald Booth.
In a time where neighborhoods seek assurance of safety, incidents like this remind residents and officials alike of the importance of vigilance, communication, and collaboration to foster a secure environment for all.
