It was after he was forced into the back seat of a car at gunpoint Sunday night that kidnapping victim Gregory Longley saw his opportunity.
When one of the kidnappers - sitting next to Longley - put his gun on his lap to text-message someone, Longley grabbed the gun and killed him, according to the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office. Longley also shot and wounded another kidnapper sitting in the front passenger seat, the sheriff's office said, and told the driver to stop the car.
The dead man has been identified as Javon Strange, 18, of 4717 N. Habana Ave., Apt. 711, Tampa, said sheriff's Sgt. Jim Bordner. The wounded kidnapper has been identified as Juan Carlos Morales, 17, of 12510 Memorial Highway, Tampa; he was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital for an injury that was not life-threatening, Bordner said.
The driver - identified as Abdusbasiyr A. Blake, 18, also of 12510 Memorial Highway - is in Pinellas County Jail on charges of kidnapping and second-degree murder. He was being held without bail.
After Blake stopped the car, as ordered to by Longley, Longley got out and called 911, Bordner said; Blake then drove his wounded accomplices to a nearby McDonald's restaurant at 4085 Tampa Road, where employees noticed the injured and called 911.
