Eric Salabirria, aged 28, was found dead on February 5, 2014, in his North Tampa home, alongside his girlfriend Chelsea Sizemore, age 21. The incident took place at their residence on N. 24th Street, where both victims were found to have suffered fatal injuries, reportedly due to upper body trauma. The police arrived at the scene following a 911 call that reported the deaths at around 11:30 p.m. Upon arrival, officers found that there were no signs of forced entry, suggesting that the crime might not have been random. Despite detectives pursuing multiple leads, no arrests were immediately made in connection to the double homicide.
Chelsea Sizemore was the daughter of Dave "Flash" Morgan, a popular radio host in Tampa, and her death had an emotional impact on the local community. Her young daughter was also in the house at the time of the murders but was unharmed. A neighbor took the toddler from the house before police arrived, and she is now in the care of a family member. Dave Morgan expressed his devastation on social media, describing the loss as the most difficult experience of his life. The incident is believed to have occurred between 9:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on the night of February 5.
Reports indicate that law enforcement officials did not classify the homicide as a random act, which suggests a potential personal motive. Investigators have been working to determine what led to the murders, but details on suspects or specific motives have remained limited. The case attracted significant media attention, both due to the tragic nature of the crime and the involvement of a local public figure's family. Despite this attention, the case remains unsolved, with police continuing their efforts to find answers and bring closure to the families involved.
