Man shot after using ATM
Sarasota detectives hope someone will recognize the suspect seen in surveillance video with a Sarasota City bus driver only four minutes before he died.
Police believe it was an attempted robbery. But, they say 49-year-old James Brotherton showed the suspect that his account was empty. Brotherton was alive only a few minutes after that ATM transaction.
"We believe this is the man we need to identify as the suspect in this case," said Wendy Rose with the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office.

"The two get back in the vehicle," said Rose. "Brotherton driving and the suspect behind him in the rear passenger seat."
Brotherton was last seen alive on the ATM surveillance videotape and but police say it was only a few minutes later, he was found dead, only about a mile and a half away.
"We know four minutes later, he is shot and killed near the Gulf Gate library," Rose said.
A Sheriff's deputy found Brotherton's body around 12:30 a.m. during a routine patrol.
