Crime Alert, hourly update, breaking crime news now. I'm Jennifer Gould. A Bradenton medical lab became a blood-spattered tomb when a security guard decided that if he could not possess his ex-girlfriend, the grave would. Keith Roberts Jr., 29, is facing first-degree murder and attempted murder charges after a calculated execution that left a young mother dead and her co-worker riddled with bullets. Bradenton Police Chief Josh Kramer spoke to Fox 13.
What happened in the Bradenton medical lab bloodbath?
The cruelty and the evil that Keith Roberts portrayed yesterday can never be forgiven.
The depravity unfolded at 12.45 p.m. when Roberts, a guard at Manatee Memorial Hospital, walked through an unlocked door at a medical complex on 4th Avenue Circle East in Bradenton, Florida. He didn't hesitate. He walked straight to the desk of his ex, 29-year-old Michelle Burnham. Armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, Roberts unleashed a point-blank blast directly into Burnham's face, killing the mother of his young son instantly. As the smoke cleared, he turned his sights on Summer Freytag 26, an innocent co-worker who was simply sitting at an adjoining desk. Roberts pumped four rounds from a .40-caliber pistol into Freytag, hitting her in the chest, both arms and her leg, leaving her in critical condition before firing additional rounds into Burnham's lifeless body.
Freytag, described as a quote-unquote living miracle, survived. after first responders applied three emergency tourniquets at the scene.
Who is Keith Roberts Jr. and what charges is he facing?
The most bone-chilling details emerged in a newly unsealed affidavit. After being captured by Manatee County deputies just 20 minutes later, Roberts did not beg for mercy. He bragged. Breonna Fisher, Michelle's sister, spoke to Tampa Bay 28.
Reading his words to the police, it's made me feel even more distraught.
Roberts admitted to plotting the murder for two years ever since their split, driven by a history of domestic violence and toxic jealousy. He told detectives that the quote-unquote clarity to kill came after a two-hour talk where Burnham refused to reconcile. The affidavit chillingly states, quote, even if he could do today over again, he would still kill Burnham, end quote. Roberts claims his quote-unquote breaking point was the simple fact that he didn't want her to be with anyone else. Currently held without bail, Roberts is scheduled for arraignment on February 13th. More crime and justice news after this. A brilliant Florida anesthesiologist and mom of two met a bone-chilling end after she was allegedly abandoned to freeze to death inside a Miami Dollar Tree.
This woman spoke to WSVN News. I would never believe in a Dollar Tree. You will find a dead body in the Dollar Tree. Dr. Helen Maciel Garay Sanchez, 32, was found naked and dead inside a walk-in freezer at the Little Havana location on Southwest 8th Street, sparking a massive $50 million lawsuit that paints a picture of staggering corporate negligence. When the store was shuttered on a Saturday night last December, Sanchez remained trapped in a restricted employee-only freezer, hidden away as the temperature plummeted to lethal levels. The details are nothing short of a nightmare. A 911 dispatcher reported that a naked female had been discovered by an employee in the store's cooler. Police scanner audio captured the grisly reality.
Sanchez had somehow made her way to the back storage room. before the store closed, but she never made it out. The lawsuit, filed in late January, levels a bombshell accusation against store manager Yanelkis Gonzalez, claiming he was placed on actual notice that Sanchez was missing and had not exited the building. Instead of springing into action, Gonzalez allegedly instructed an employee, quote, not to review the surveillance footage, end quote, when asked by a concerned individual to help locate the missing doctor. The legal complaint slams Dollar Tree for failing to maintain basic safety, alleging the walk-in freezer lacked a functional internal emergency release or alarm. Sanchez, a specialist in congenital heart disease who dedicated her life to saving children, was left to die alone in the dark.
