After a two-day trial, a Volusia County jury found defendant Steve Tilbury guilty of Second-Degree Murder.
On Nov. 23, 2021, Tilbury drove up to the maintenance department at the Daytona Beach car dealership where he worked. When he got out of his vehicle, he grabbed a metal bat, walked into the maintenance bay and then came up from behind one of his co-workers, who was sitting at a desk doing paperwork, and struck him in the head with the bat.
The victim died from the blunt force injury at the hospital a week later.
“For his murderous rage, the defendant deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison. We will seek nothing less at his sentencing,” State Attorney R.J. Larizza said about this case.
The Daytona Beach Police Department investigated the case. Assistant State Attorneys Andrew Urbanak and Erica Kane successfully tried the case for the State. The Honorable Kathryn Weston presided over the case and will pronounce sentence at a later date. The defendant faces up to life in prison for the crime.
