Bystander dies in police shootout
Dec 5, 2008
PLANT CITY -- A civilian bystander died from a stray bullet this morning after a murder suspect stopped his vehicle amid a sheriff's pursuit and turned an assault weapon on veteran deputies, firing at least 17 rounds, the Sheriff's Office reported.
No deputies were wounded. The suspect got away.
Scores of law enforcement officers are sweeping Plant City today, going door to door seeking Fransisco Rangel, 25, of 4536 Golfwood Blvd. in Tampa, pictured.
Hillsborough Sheriff's Maj. Harold Winsett identified the shooting victim as Candelario Lagunes, 58, a passenger in a vehicle on J.L Redman Parkway.
It's unclear whether Lagunes was killed by Rangel's weapon or by the rounds returned by deputies, the Sheriff's Office said.
