Prosecutors seek detention of suspect in fatal Ybor crash.
Prosecutors are requesting that a judge keep Silas Kenneth Sampson, 22, in custody until his trial for a fatal crash outside Bradley's on 7th Avenue in Ybor City. Sampson was driving recklessly, evading troopers before colliding with a Jeep and hitting pedestrians, resulting in four deaths and several injuries. Authorities believe Sampson poses a continued threat to the community and that releasing him would not ensure public safety. The defendant faces charges including vehicular homicide and fleeing the scene causing death or serious injury. His detention hearing is set for Thursday morning in Hillsborough County court.
