Description
A man accused of killing a woman, shooting two family members and exchanging gunfire with Tampa police reportedly was being kicked out of the house because he wanted a "romantic relationship" with his 17-year-old daughter.
That's according to a pretrial motion filed Thursday by the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office asking the courts to deny bond for Michael Banks.
Court documents say the state attorney's office is making the ask due to the "dangerous crime" the 42-year-old is accused of committing and the "substantial probability" he carried out those crimes.
According to authorities, Tampa Police were called around 12:45 p.m. Wednesday to a home in the area of North 23rd Street and East Linebaugh Avenue. The 911 caller, a 60-year-old woman, said Banks had shot her and a friend at the home.
