BRADENTON, Fla. — The Manatee County Sheriff's Office is searching for a man that detectives say shot his uncle early Saturday morning.
On Saturday around 12:27 a.m., deputies responded to a call at Mike's Mini Mart.
When they arrived, they learned that a man was down in the wooded area just east of 15th St. East.
According to the caller, his brother had been shot in the head.
Deputies went into the homeless camp at the 1700 block 57th Avenue East and found the victim, Robert Laycock. EMS assisted and said Robert Laycock was killed from what appeared to be a single gunshot wound to the head.
After further investigation, detectives learned that David Laycock, the victim's nephew, fired more than one round into the wooded area. One of the rounds struck Robert in the head.
When David realized he shot his uncle, he ran from the area.
David's father, who was also in the area, called 911.
Detectives have a second-degree murder warrant and are currently looking for David.
If anyone has any information on David's whereabouts, you are asked to contact the Manatee County Sheriff's Office at (941) 747-3011.

Thoughts? Based on local online news reports, Laycock was still at large at least as of June 20th, 2020. I don't see him in Florida wanted search yet, but I'm assuming that's only because this is a breaking news case. Hopefully it stays breaking news and Laycock's time on the run doesn't extend.
