A Florida man has been charged with first degree murder after witnesses reported seeing him put the victim’s body in his car and try to scrub blood off the road where the victim was shot.
DeLand Police found the body of Clinton Dorsey, 51, in the trunk of Travis McBride’s car, WESH reported.
The initial 911 call came in Thursday morning.
“There’s been a murder that happened,” the caller said. “We got a couple of eyewitnesses, and I believe — the person right now, he’s looking at the road, cleaning up the blood off the ground.”
The caller said they saw McBride “drag the body across the road.”
“He put it in his car, and then he left,” the caller said. “And then he came back, and not even 10 minutes ago. He started scrubbing the road, and now I see him in the yard with a flashlight looking around.”
DeLand Police Chief Jason Umberger said that investigators “believe there was an ongoing dispute between” McBride, 46, and Dorsey.
McBride is a local therapist who lives and works in a building near where the body was found. Police used a hammer to break the window of McBride’s office, in a nearby shopping center, and enter, WKMG reported.
McBride is being held without bond.
