Title: ::: CAPTURED ::: John Andrew Morrison DOB 11/17/1992 ::: CAPTURED :::

John Andrew Morrison is 1 of the HCSO's 10 most wanted fugitives. He is wanted for robbery with a firearm and also tried to obstruct an officer. From what we understand the reason he is considered armed and dangerous is that he assaulted someone with a firearm. He is also a minor and we're limited to sharing certain types of information. We needed to inform everyone about how dangerous he is. There is a warrant for his arrest and he is a special project here at The Floridian Alert System. If you have information that will help us achieve a no Bond status, I'm sure everyone will appreciate it. We are seeking information that will help us better understand how this child thinks or what he might be capable of.
He is known to use the following birthdays
11/17/1992
08/26/1992
Acquired unvalidated information shows that he is in possession of a .32 caliber revolver and it is small enough to fit into his right front pocket. He is dangerous and anyone that sees him is advised to stay clear and notify The Floridian Alert System (813-786-5188) or dial 911 and alert HCSO.
We are hoping that kids will see that if you're a minor you can still be featured as a societal risk here on The Floridian Alert System. If you do something that is considered dangerous it will put you in a situation that might lead normal people to believe you are a danger to our society. You will not be able to get a job, people will label you as an outcast, and in most cases nobody will want you around.
Florida is very unforgiving when it comes to keeping our family and children safe. Commit a violent crime and your life in Florida will be over!

Title: ::: WANTED ::: Triple Homicide In Brandon, Florida ::: WANTED :::
Release Number: 09-347 For
Public Information Office
December 29, 2009
Debbie Carter: dcarter@hcso.tampa.fl.us (813) 247-8060
Victim 1: Vincent Thomas, DOB 3-2-87 of 507 Oakwood Avenue South Brandon, Florida (deceased) (Dead) (shot) (Murdered)
Victim 2: Tony Black, DOB 11-25-87 of 814 Providence Trace Circle Brandon, Florida (deceased) (Dead) (shot) (Murdered)
Victim 3: Rafael G. Guadalupe, DOB 4-19-88 of 4900 N. MacDill Tampa, Florida (deceased) (Dead) (stabbed) (Murdered)
Victim 4: Ralph Arroyo, DOB 6-1-88 of 17804 Jamestown Way Lutz, Florida (Still Alive) (Battered)
What: Triple Homicide
When: December 29, 2009 at 12:04 a.m.
Where: 507 Oakwood Avenue South, Brandon, Florida
Why/How: Hillsborough County deputies responded to 507 Oakwood Avenue South in Brandon in reference to a shooting. The complainant (a family member of Vincent Thomas) heard shots fired and called authorities.
When deputies arrived they discovered the three deceased males in the backyard of the residence. Two of the victims (Vincent and Tony) had been shot while Rafael Guadalupe on the other hand had been stabbed. A fourth victim "Ralph Arroyo" who had been battered at the scene approached responding deputies. There is really no telling if any information acquired from Ralph Arroyo is true.
Preliminary indications are that all the victims are acquaintances with each other and were in the backyard together when the suspects vehicle arrived. The suspects (multiple) went directly to the backyard and a confrontation ensued resulting in the shooting and stabbing. The suspects then fled northbound from the scene in a red Mustang GT with tinted windows. Based on information received via a tip, law enforcement in Orange County just outside of Orlando recovered one of the suspects vehicle.
Esteban Merchan, DOB 6-17-90 beat up Ralph Arroyo and was present when unknown others were believed to have killed these 3 individuals and fled the scene. All though this looks like some sort of Gang activity, we believe that the suspects may not have known the victims on any personal level.
Why was Ralph Arroyo left alive? We would have to assume Ralph knew the suspects. The suspects must have been angry with Ralph as well, or was the incident with Ralph Arroyo independent. It looks like we have 2 incidents that happened at or around the same time the others were killed.
We have no idea who killed these 3 kids but we know who battered Ralph Arroyo. Please if you have any information that will help us understand what happened please call The Floridian Alert System 813-786-5188

Third Suspect Arrested In Homicide Of Ruskin Man
Hillsborough detectives arrest third suspect in connection with the homicide of Roberto Arredondo.
Tuesday May 11, 2010
Time: 5:31 PM
Where: 2224 N. Falkenburg Road Tampa, FL
Update – May 11, 2010 - Third suspect arrested:
Suspect: Carlos Alexandro Balderas, DOB 01-22-93 of 1208 21st Avenue S.E. Ruskin, FL
(Stand and Deliver – certified gang member)
Charges: First Degree Murder
Armed Robbery
Hillsborough detectives have arrested the third suspect wanted in connection with the homicide of Roberto Arredondo. Balderas was taken into custody at approximately 2:15 p.m. after being interviewed by detectives at the Criminal Investigations Division – 2224 N. Falkenburg Road.
Original Press Release 10-153 dated May 10, 2010
Victim: Roberto Arredondo, DOB 05-27-79 (deceased) of 718 19th Avenue N.E. Ruskin, FL
Suspects:
Luis Miguel Romero, DOB 09-13-93 of 505 2nd Street N.W. Ruskin, FL
(Westside Low Life – certified gang member)
Charges: First Degree Murder with a Deadly Weapon, Robbery, Battery (Warrant),Obstructing or Opposing an Officer without Violence (Warrant),
Possession of Alcohol Beverage (Warrant) and No Valid Driver’s License (Warrant)
Jose Palomo, DOB 08-11-91 of 13107 Brant Tree Drive Riverview, FL
(Southside – certified gang member)
Charges: First Degree Murder,Robbery and Possession of Marijuana
On May 9, 2010 at approximately 2:07 a.m., the victim was driving his vehicle in the area of 5202 Highway 41 in Ruskin when he was forced to stop due to the suspect’s vehicle cutting him off. Once stopped, the victim was struck several times with a baseball bat and robbed of his money. The victim died as a result of his injuries. The suspects then fled the scene. The suspects were identified and both admitted to this offense. Both suspects are certified gang members. A spokes person for the Floridian Alert System told us that she believes that most of these kids are gang members and commit these horrible crimes for no other reason than to try and impress other gang members. She says that it is a very sad situation in Florida for these kids that get caught up in the wannabe tough guy thug click. Floridians are starting to arm themselves and have had enough. We interviewed over a hundred people in the Apollo Beach area and only 7 out of a 100 people were not armed with a weapon or hand gun and almost all of them stated that if they were to be robbed or attacked they would not hesitate to shoot the person. We are no longer safe in the state of Florida and this means there are more sad days ahead for our children and family members. Here at the Floridian Alert System we do our best to encourage people to arm themselves and be ready to pull the trigger. Our family and children need us and if we take the time to think instead of just pulling the trigger our children could end up without us. Once a young man becomes a gang member they have made a decision and they understand when they join these gangs that at some point in the future they will rob or kill an innocent person, it's what they do. Gang initiations often involve robbing or sometimes killing another person just to become a certified gang member.
