ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., (WFLA) — The St. Petersburg Police Department said a man has been charged with murder after a shooting earlier this month that killed a young father while his 1-year-old daughter was in the back seat.

The victim's family told 8 On Your Side that they are grateful to St. Pete police for bringing justice for 21-year-old Tyrone Howard, but at the end of the day, all they want is their loved one back.

"I'm glad justice has been served and that they got him," the victim's sister, Ciara Jackson, said.

Howard was shot and killed on September 7, with his daughter in the back of his car.

"My granddaughter seems very inconsolable," Howard's mother, Melissa Jackson, said. "At such a young age, they do know their mother and father. She points to the pictures and says 'dada.'"
