Three Arrested in Pinellas Park Shooting Death

Pinellas Park Police have arrested three men in connection with the death of a 39-year-old man last month.

Cody Lee Dials, Randy White and Zachary Perrine each face the charge of first degree murder in the shooting of David Rhea.

On May 7, Rhea was found inside his 94th Avenue North residence around 2:45 a.m. suffering from a gun shot wound.

Authorities believed Rhea was the victim of a home invasion robbery. The suspects in the shooting had fled the scene when police officers arrived. Investigators found Rhea was missing a large amount of cash and the motive of the crime appeared to be a robbery, according to the police department's Facebook page.

Arrest warrants were issued on June 1 for Dials, 18, White, 19, and Perrine, 21. On June 5 authorities arrested Dials and White at a hotel in St. Petersburg. Perrine was already in the Pinellas County Jail on unrelated charges. All three men are currently being held in the jail and have been charged with first degree murder.

During the homicide investigation, detectives developed probable cause to also charge Perrine with alleged robbery in a separate incident at the Bank of America, 10200 66th Street N in Pinellas Park on May 25.
