A man is now facing a life sentence following a 2022 Tampa shooting that killed his neighbor. On Friday, a jury found 25-year-old Kristopher Chandler guilty of first-degree murder after deliberating for over two hours. The shooting happened in July 2022 near a neighborhood lake dock in the Grand Hampton community where police found a 47-year-old little league baseball coach with three gunshot wounds. At the time of the incident, Chandler admitted to being near the dock and shooting the man after being interviewed by detectives. He also told authorities where the location of the gun he used was. Initially, Tampa police believed the man's death was an accident. However, they later found a gun at Chandler’s home along with the sweatshirt he was wearing that night covered in blood. While on stand, Chandler admitted to killing his neighbor, but claimed he did it in self-defense. During the trial, jurors watched surveillance video that showed Chandler driving a vehicle in the area before and after his neighbor was killed. Some of the footage included him walking around the neighborhood singing and smoking a cigarette. Witnesses who testified say they saw a man who fit his description holding a firearm at the scene after hearing gunshots. A medical examiner also testified that the first gunshot did not kill Chandler's neighbor. Prosecutors argued that Chandler stood above the 47-year-old before firing off the second and third shots into his back after, leading to his death. Officials say Chandler did not call 911 to report the incident. Chandler now faces a mandatory life prison sentence. “This victim, who was a beloved Little League baseball coach, was taken in a violent and senseless manner." State Attorney Suzy Lopez said in a statement. "This verdict delivers justice for his family. Our hearts remain with his loved ones as they navigate through the grieving process. I am proud of our prosecutors and law enforcement partners whose tireless work ensured this defendant will not be able to walk the streets again.”
