ST. PETERSBURG – St. Petersburg police have made an arrest in the murder of a popular limousine company owner.
Bill Proffitt, a police spokesman, said investigators have charged Marcus Oliver. The 18-year-old suspect lives in Clearwater.
Somebody shot Kurt Anthony Bryant as he got out of his limousine early Sunday morning near the 1000 block of 13th Avenue South.
A friend, Ron King, said he pulled Bryant back inside the car and kept pressure on the bullet wound until they got to Bayfront Medical Center. Bryant was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Family members said Bryant owned a small limousine company with three vehicles. He was getting ready to buy a fourth. Saturday night, he was just relaxing, having fun with some friends.
Another friend, Darryl Rouson told The Tampa Tribune earlier this week that Bryant “was a wonderful guy, fun-loving, spiritual, would give you the shirt off his back, would give a kid the last $5 in his pocket if the kid needed it.”
