Snatched it. I said are you kidding me . I was really taken off guard. It is not what i expected. Reporter blessed is what you might call piece. A second seller who also was robbed in broad daylight, this time at gunpoint. That seller was pistol whipped. But sunday, during a third transaction, the buyer escalated. Police say he snatched another cell phone, then shot and killed jeffrey morrow as he ran away. We knew we had to operate quickly because we didnt know when he was going to strike again. Reporter working with go detectives tracked down 25 yearold victor mann. He said he was remorseful. Im sorry for the soul that was lost sunday night. And he apologized for the bad choices he had made in life. Reporter remorse not enough to give cory his peace back knowing the danger he escaped. Im thankful that no one was hurt. Reporter back here at the family dollar, sheriff judd says the detectives asked mann this robbery. Mann telling him he dropped the cell phone as he was running away and it broke and he threw it in the trash can meaning someone died over nothing. This is just awful. And candace, in the case where it was a fatality, we know the victim even pulled his own gun right . Reporter yeah, he got out of the car with a shotgun and before he could even fire it off, we are told that mann fired his weapon, striking that victim in the face and killing him. All over a phone. Much. And during that same press conference, we learned more about the deadly officer involved shooting in lakeland. Polk Sheriff Grady Judd says the man who opened fire on officers has died. 32yearold Francis Perry had a long rap sheet. The sheriff says he refused to roll down his windows during a traffic stop leading to that exchange of gunfire. Taxpayer dollars wasted . Not on his watch. 8 on your sides mark douglas is making sure your hardearned drain. Because, you paid for it. Hermine dumped tons of heavy rain on the bay area last week flooding parts of pinellas county. But for the sewers and the drainage systems, it was way too much. Saint petersburg taxpayers have spent a fortune on sewers and drainage through storm water fees and the penny for pinellas tax. Now the taxpayers have a good reason to question what they paid for. Tonight, mark is on it because you paid for it. Reporter keith, if in Saint Petersburg, you paid hundreds of millions of dollars over the years for the right to stay dry in your home. Drive on streets and flush your toilet without worrying about it going into tampa bay. You paid for it, but what did you get for all of that money . Cigarette was all the way up. Reporter Robert Stewart is sick and tired of soggy parks, streets, and neighborhoods in the city he has called home 55 years. How long has it been flooding . Reporter stewart spent 27 years on patrol here as a street cop. You drive through some of the places where there are impressions in the road. Reporter the flooding we witnessed last week is nothing new to him. Especially around lake mcgory. You pay a storm water fee every single month. What does that buy you . Looks like we are not buying too much. I would like to find out what we are paying for. R the sales tax raised nearly half a billion dollars since 1990. Most of it spent on flashy projects insteed of sewage and drainage. You dont get to put your name on it. You dont have a fancy ribbon cutting. Reporter we estimate the storm fee alone has raised 200 million over 25 years and that is exclusively for drainage work. What has that bought them . In a lot of cases, all it it was at. Reporter it is an honest response. Obviously, we are not staying above water right now. Reporter but the wrong one for homeowners like daphne davis. We need someone to come out, open the drainage system, and get this resolved. Reporter here at the davis home, they cant even open the front door wide enough to let in guests and the floor is buckling because of all the water that is still underneath their house. Should somebody be fired for allowing thing to get to this point . It got to this point from a lot of years of in some ways inaction, different priorities the different administrations had. Reporter the mayor says it is near the top of his list now, but first off, is a 58 million fix for the citys overloaded sewage system. You know, the one that just dumped 20 million gallons in the tampa bay . The mayor say it is city need to come up with a master plan account climate change. And then, find a way to pay for that. You know, you put up with a lot as a taxpayer. The storm fees, you pay that. The penny for pinellas. But when sewer starts coming theres a line. This is it. Sounds like you may have another. Because you paid for it coming up. Reporter you can bet on that. The mayor says it will be paid. And the city taxpayers cant do it alone. He needs state help. Federal help. At the end of the day, it is the citizens of saint thats the basics. Thank you mark. And, we have Team Coverage on this issue tonight.
