April 24th, 2008 | Category: Tampa Blog

TAMPA — Sheriff’s deputies found a man dead in a storage area on his patio Wednesday after someone called to say they were worried about him.

Now, detectives are looking for the man’s killer.

Elax Brown, 60, of 2226 Cedar Trace Circle in Tampa, suffered homicidal trauma, according to sheriff’s spokesman J.D. Callaway.

Brown was found at 10:40 a.m. Wednesday. Callaway said detectives weren’t releasing details

about his injuries or how expanded they believe he has been dead. Deputies waited to release knowledge about Brown’s death until a medical examiner concluded his autopsy and determined a cause of death.

There are no suspects at that duration. Anyone with info is asked to shout (813) 247-8200 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-873-8477.
