Brittany Harper was wounded in her leg and ankle and her boyfriend, Blake Fitzgerald, was killed in a shootout with Florida sheriffs after a crime spree that spanned multiple states.
A crime spree allegedly carried out by a man and woman ended in a shootout on Friday that killed Blake Fitzgerald and left his girlfriend, Brittany Harper, injured, Florida officials said in a press conference on Friday.
The shootout ended a recent spate of burglaries, kidnappings and thefts across Alabama, Georgia and Florida that law enforcement officials said were carried out by the couple, who are both from Missouri.
The U.S. Marshals offered a $10,000 reward to anyone with information about the couple. They allegedly began their spree on Sunday in Alabama.
Police said the couple, both 30, allegedly kidnapped a hotel clerk with his own car. Then they drove to Vestavia Hills, Alabama where they released the hostage and abandoned the car. The couple went on to kidnap and steal a car from another woman in Birgmingham. They may also be responsible for robbing a convenience store in Perry, Georgia, and kidnapping its clerk.
Law enforcement officials believe the couple may also be behind two other robberies in Walnut Hills and Destin, Florida on Wednesday.
