This has a very interesting theory on the suspect.
The murderer seems to ambush victims, coming on them suddenly with a gun. Most serial killers are men, so this one probably is, too.
He may be traveling by foot or bicycle, moving quietly. The mode of transportation suggests a younger person, 21 to 35.
The killer probably has a "deep and personal relationship with the area," Yaksic wrote. He consulted with Bryanna Fox, a former FBI agent and professor at the University of South Florida, to better understand Seminole Heights before sharing the profile. Because the diverse neighborhood is rapidly gentrifying, he thinks class tensions could fit into the motive.
"The disparity between the offender's perceived lower status may be driving his motivations to victimize those from other statuses," Yaksic wrote. Since at least two of the killings happened later in the day or at night, the "timing could indicate that the offender is employed during the daylight hours in some menial capacity based on his potential age range."
Though predicting race is difficult, Yaksic wrote that in such a diverse area, the killer is likely from a minority group. He doubts the murderer is mentally ill but probably enjoys outsmarting law enforcement officers.
In an interview, Yaksic said the Seminole Heights killer seems to match a pattern he has seen in recent years younger, spree-like serial murderers who are more motivated by anger than sexual desire. It's possible the killings could even be gang activity or an initiation ritual.
"The newer version of the offender is the run-and-guns," Yaksic said. "They don't take any kind of gratification from spending time with the body."
