Tampa Police report that on Wednesday, February 22nd between 4:45 p. m. and 5:19 p. m., Derrick Grady, Jr., 24, was driven by a female acquaintance to meet Jacob Nelson, 25, at 9410 North 13th Street.

Authorities have not disclosed what the confrontation was about that led to one man fatally shooting the other. Police said when Grady arrived, he was directed to the front door of the apartment.

A witness told police Nelson armed himself with a handgun and was upset prior to Grady’s arrival. When Grady stepped inside the apartment, Nelson allegedly shot Grady once in the chest. Grady ran and collapsed a short distance away. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Nelson fled the scene, but turned himself in Thursday, February 23rd.

A witness identified Nelson as the person who shot Grady. He was charged with second-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a handgun.

Although arrest records indicate that Nelson and Grady both spent time at the Brevard Correctional Institute, they were not at the institution at the same time.

Detectives said they cannot release the name of the woman who drove Grady to the apartment because she is a witness, and they haven’t released information on what the dispute was about between the two men.
