Father facing murder charges after 5-year-old girl thrown to death from Tampa bridge



A 5-year-old girl has died after being thrown from a bridge into Tampa Bay and a suspect believed to be her father is in custody, St. Petersburg police said early Thursday.

The incident occurred just after midnight on the Dick Misener Bridge, according to MyFoxTampaBay. The girl was pulled from the water and Tampa Police spokeswoman Yolanda Fernandez told The Associated Press rescuers who found the girl tried to resuscitate her, but she was pronounced dead at a local hospital 2:44 a.m. Thursday, Fernandez said.

Fernandez said in an earlier statement that a St. Petersburg police officer saw the suspect throw the girl in the water. A St. Petersburg Police Officer was heading home southbound toward the Skyway Bridge when he said a Chrysler PT Cruiser passed him going about 100 miles per hour. Once he'd reached the top of the bridge and entered the approach to the Skyway, the officer said the driver stopped and threw a child over the side of the rail into the water. More
