Justice for Mark Wayne Hunter: Support Needed

My father was killed by a Pinellas County Sheriff officer!

On July 14 at 1:30am my father Mark Wayne Hunter 73 would be killed by a on duty Sheriff officer who was just starting his shift, but I believe his death was set in motion a couple of months before his death. Let me start with who my dad was. My dad Mark Hunter a father of three children, Naomi me the oldest Rachel the middle child and me the youngest Jordan Hunter my father worked at ABC action news channel 28 for 25 years. He worked in MCR, he was their main switcher, he was a great guy. He loved the play guitar. He was very good at it. I looked up to my dad and I tried to be just like him when I went to school. I went for broadcast operations technician I worked with him at ABC action news for about 5 to 6 years. I believe his death all started with me getting a new car. I was test driving new cars at Wesley Chapel Mazda in Tampa and I was on my third car every time that they did the registration from my car I told them never to put my dad on there as the primary cosigner because three years back, my dad had gotten a DUI and he could not be listed as a primary driver. This would be a crucial role in his death because on the registration unknown to me they had put him on as just that the primary! fast-forward to the night before his death and I pulled into a wawas gas station on 62nd and 34th St. in Saint Pete and all of a sudden I get pulled over as I’m taking off sheriff officer. I knew what time it was just something in the way that the sheriff officer looked at me that I knew he was going to give me a DUI test and so I failed the test even though I am not on anything I dare anybody to try and pass that test. That was on July 13 they hold you for 12 hours and then they release you. I called my dad. I’m leaving the jail and he’s going to meet me on 49th St. and 58th ave. When I get there, he’s waiting at a bus stop bench for me. It’s about 1:30am and not a car in site clear blue night as I’m sitting next to him, I am dumbfounded at the situation that I have found myself in DUI. I sit next him the last moments that I will spend with my father. I Tell him I’m gonna go across the street to Circle k its right across the street from us. These are the last words I will say to my father. What do you want from the store? He tells me get me a Starbucks iced coffee and an egg McMuffin from the hot rack. I will be right back that will be the last time I will speak to him. I go across the street in the Circle K I grabbed the stuff and as I’m checking out I see a bunch of red and blue lights start flashing through the windows of Circle K. Immediately my mind goes to my father because he’s the only one out there I run outside and I see the sheriff officers That just not but 30 hours earlier were arresting me on a DUI parked in the middle of the road all around something, I run towards it as I’m getting closer. I see the red and blue lights bouncing off of the backstop of the bench where my dad should’ve been he’s not there , I really panic. I run through the cops and then I see it in the middle of the road there was my father covered by sheet and buried into the dirt right next to him is his Kane. Officer immediately starts telling me what happened one of their lead shift. Supervisors had just come on line and

did not see my father in the road and ran him over. My DUI was later dropped, but it was too late. I believe I got that DUI because when they ran my tag, I should say my father‘s tag they saw that the person that owned the car did not have a valid license because my dad had to turn his in after his DUI, because of that, I believe that’s why they were suspicious and gave me a DUI. I don’t believe I would’ve been pulled over if they had not messed up on the registration and my father would still be alive.

If you wanna go online and look up the articles that were put in the paper type in Mark W Hunter killed by a Pinellas county sheriff deputy July,14 2024. And that’ll pull up several articles, including his obituary.
