The intentional hit-and-run left Pedro Aguerreberry, 42, dead, and his two sons hospitalized, police said.
On Sunday, a Tampa, Florida, father took his two young sons to spend the afternoon riding bicycles. Pedro Aguerreberry towed his 3-year-old, Bennett, in a trailer and Lucas, 8, rode his bike behind them. The three were wearing helmets and on a marked bike path when a man plowed a burgundy Dodge Caliber into the family, police said.
The intentional hit-and-run left Pedro Aguerreberry, 42, dead, and his two sons hospitalized, police said.
Mikese Morse, 30, a former track star and United States Olympic Trials qualifier, was arrested Sunday evening, a few hours after the attack, and charged with crimes that included murder in the first degree, a premeditated and capital offense, according to court documents. Under Florida law, if convicted, murder in the first degree carries either a death sentence or life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
Just before noon, the Aguerreberrys had been riding their bikes near New Tampa Boulevard and Wood Sage Drive, when Morse stopped his car, made a U-turn, and pursued the family, Police Chief Brian Dugan said at a news conference on Monday.
Morse accelerated, a witness said, and barreled his four-door Dodge into Aguerreberry and his boys. Morse did not stop, fleeing the scene and leaving the boys to "essentially watch their father die," Tampa police said.
"He appears to be someone who is disturbed," said Dugan. "What type of person would purposely run over a family that was just bicycling down a bike path?" Although the attack was premeditated, Morse did not know the Aguerreberry family and apparently selected them at random, Dugan said.
Bennett Aguerreberry, who was airlifted to a hospital with serious injuries, and Lucas Aguerreberry are expected to recover. Their father, however, suffered life-threatening injuries

Looks like a very nice family.
Give the perp the max punishment.
Maxine waters SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE!! She encouraged and pumped this kind of activity!!! KICK HER OUT!!!!
Black guy runs down white guy and kids. Hate crime?
Waiting for the public outcry to ban all Automatic Tranny Vehicles.
They are not needed...the sudden acceleration rate is not needed to drive to the store. Governors need to be installed on all vehicles and a 10 day waiting period to purchase.
That being said, I'm not sure we should bring them back or they would be using them as places to incarcerate their political opponents.
“...Maxine waters SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE!! She encouraged and pumped this kind of activity!!! KICK HER OUT!!!!....”
Absolutely. The rhetoric from the face & voice of the Democratic Party has this man’s blood all over their hands. Disgusting...evil.
No surprise from the mug shot.
That poor family.
Oh, but, but Morse was a good father and family man! He was just off his meds but was getting his life on track and had dreams of becoming a rap star... Yeah, we’ve heard that story far too many times. It’s their meme. Stop with the pandering and excuses. He’s a monster and needs to be treated as such. Life sentence or death penalty. Either one.
“Mikese Morse”
What’s his muslim name?
I Guaran-Gosh-Darn-Tee you that it’s really a hate crime.
But we know it won’t be acknowledged as such by the authorities.
“...apparently selected them at random, Dugan said
Judging by the usual comments I read here and elsewhere on the internet, many readers are thrilled at cyclists being run over.
I read with dismay that Florida executed a Melvin Carter some years back, I had a friend named Melvin Carter at Jefferson Davis Jr High, but I knew it wasn’t him when I saw the photo of the executed man, he was white, my friend was black...
This means that any white people could have been attacked.
Absolutely!!!!!!
This has gotten out of control!
President Regan cut funding and shut down many of the outdated and dilapidated Bedlam style homes back in the 80's. Mind science, meds and the Thin Blue Line have been keeping us safe ever since...
Not random, selected a white family.
APPEARS to be disturbed...you think???.....demoncrap agitation playing out on the street...
