CAPE CORAL,FL. - Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers is asking for the public's help identifying and tracking down the man who gunned down the manager Of the TJ Maxx department store Tuesday night.
Alfred Griffiths was outside the Del Prado Boulevard store on Tuesday, November 18th when an unknown male fatally shot the store manager. While numerous shoppers and patrons of adjacent businesses heard the gunshots, no one was able to identify the gunman, and detectives are still searching for the man who pulled the trigger.
"This horrific random act of violence occurred in a busy area, and we're hoping someone may have seen the shooter in the area either right before the murder, or even in the hours leading up to the assault," said Trish Routte, Crime Stoppers Coordinator. "Mr. Griffiths has a family who is struggling to understand why or how this could have happened, and they absolutely deserve to see justice for their loved one."
Griffiths was unmarried, with no children, however he took care of his elderly mother. He also leaves behind two sisters and extended family.
More than 60 tips have come in to Cape PD, and another dozen or so to Crime Stoppers since releasing a picture of Griffiths.
