Tampa Park mom: Leaving behind tragedy, carrying heartache

Her son was shot and killed at Tampa Park Apartments. She could afford to move out only because the complex was sold to a developer.

Patricia Brown, 54, in the doorway of her apartment at the Tampa Park Apartments on Nick Nuccio Parkway. Brown's 27-year-old son, Devanté Brown, was shot and killed on March 21. Brown, who could not bring herself to walk past the spot where he was shot, has now moved out. The complex is under contract for sale to Ybor City Developer Darryl Shaw. [ DIRK SHADD | Times ]
