Video shows murder suspect dealing drugs in plain sight at St. Pete store, police say
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Police in St. Petersburg say they raided a convenience store after evidence – including surveillance footage – showed illegal drug sales happening inside, with little to no attempt to even hide the transactions.
In some cases, investigators say, the clerks were even involved.
Video released today showed three different drug deals inside the Qwik Stop Food Mart on 49th Street South. Detectvies say the three clips show Tyree Bell weighing and then selling marijuana to customers in the store.
The video is from November 1, which is the same day that Dameion Cookinson was killed in the store’s parking lot. His murder remains unsolved.
Bell, meanwhile, is wanted for the murder of Arnieceia Milton on November 15.
