As funeral plans are being made for Ms. Bianca McGaughey, Brian McGhee, the man accused of her murder, is being held without bond. Last Friday, a judge ordered that he be held without bond.
Last Wednesday night, Hillsborough County deputies responded to an apartment complex in reference to a stabbing in progress Wednesday night. The alleged suspect fled before police arrived.
Police said at around 8:30 p.m., deputies went to 8451 Del Lago Circle, where they discovered Ms. McGaughey, 25, lying on the sidewalk. She had been stabbed several times in her torso and neck. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue responded and pronounced Ms. McGaughey dead.
Several witnesses told police McGhee drove up and get out of his car. Ms. McGaughey was reportedly walking toward him when he began stabbing her, a spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office said.
