Man Accused Of Pointing Gun At Boss’ Head, Firing Shot At Him At FL Construction Site

TAMPA, FL — A man was arrested during a multi-agency effort after pointing a gun at his former employer’s head during a confrontation over unpaid wages, according to a Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office news release.

Rajache Greenlee, 34, confronted his former boss at a construction site on Versailles Drive in Tampa over an ongoing monetary dispute on Saturday.

During the encounter, Greenlee took out a gun, pressed it to the victim’s forehead, threatened to kill him and fired a round that narrowly missed, the sheriff’s office said.

He then forced his way into the home under the victim's care, caused more than $1,000 in property damage and stole a nail gun before fleeing the scene.

Detectives with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office quickly identified Greenlee as the suspect, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

On Monday, with help from the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, Greenlee was found and taken into custody in Pinellas County.

He was charged with attempted second-degree murder, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony with a weapon, armed burglary of a dwelling and robbery with a firearm.

“This was a reckless and violent outburst that could have ended in tragedy,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said. “Pointing a firearm at someone's head and pulling the trigger over a financial dispute shows an alarming disregard for human life. There is no place for this kind of behavior in our community.”
