Shooting and Robbery Suspects At Large

Authorities are looking for two black men who reportedly robbed a person of his or her cell phone at gunpoint in Dunedin late Sunday (Sept. 25).

Authorities believe the suspects may also be involved in the shooting death of a Clearwater woman about 45 minutes later.

Zorana Lebedic, 34, was killed while riding on her bike in Clearwater.

Detectives say that one of the men pointed a dark colored handgun, possibly a revolver, at the robbery victim and took the victim's cell phone around 10:20 p.m. on Beltrees Street near Louden Avenue in Dunedin. The suspects then fled the area in a tan- or beige-colored sedan with a loud exhaust, detectives say. The victim also reported to detectives that the suspects’ car looked like an unmarked police car.

The suspects were seen wearing handkerchiefs over their faces with dark clothing and handguns, authorities say. One is reportedly 6 feet tall, weighs 170 to 180 pounds. The second man is under 6 feet tall, with a thin to medium build.

Authorities believe these men are connected to the shooting later in Clearwater. Lebedic was shot once in the upper body while on her bicycle near Palmetto Street and Fairburn Avenue in Clearwater at 11 p.m., authorities report.

The victim’s name in the Dunedin robbery is being withheld while the suspects are still at large, authorities said.
