CLEARWATER - Authorities blamed a woman's former boyfriend for a fatal shooting that led to the arrest Sunday of Gary Averill Jr., 36, no fixed address.
Police said a masked man knocked on the door of 1364 Friend Avenue at about 4:30 a.m. Saturday.
When Barbara Hall answered the door, police said, Averill made her lie on the ground and continued to knock on the door until Michael Harris, 26, responded.
Police said the masked man shot Harris multiple times and fled toward Missouri Avenue.
Detectives said interviews indicated Averill was Hall's former boyfriend. Averill was arrested Sunday and charged with murder.
Police said today that the investigation is ongoing.
