2 Women Shot At St. Pete Bar: Pinellas County Sheriff

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — A woman faces three felony attempted murder charges for a shooting at a St. Petersburg bar late Thursday night, according to a Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office news release.

Deputies responded to a shooting at Doubles Sports Bar, 3301 54th Ave. N., around 11:30 p.m.

They found one victim, 28-year-old Clemmiesha Flowers, with a gunshot wound to her upper back, the sheriff’s office said. They later learned that there was a second victim, 26-year-old Fabriia Williams, who was shot in the leg. Both were brought to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

During the investigation, they identified the suspect as Dekena Talbert, 24, of St. Petersburg. She drove away from the bar after the shooting and was pulled over during a traffic stop and taken into custody, PCSO said.

Detectives learned that Talbert got into a physical fight with a third victim, June Flowers, who she has an ongoing rivalry with, at the bar. After the fight, Talbert got a gun and tried to shoot Flowers.

Clemmiesha Flowers was shot when she put herself between Talbert and June Flowers, PCSO said.

As Talbert drove away, she fired three more rounds at Williams, hitting her in the leg, the sheriff’s office said.

Talbert admitted to the shootings and was brought to Pinellas County Jail, where she was charged, according to PCSO.
