Six years after Reche Caldwell murder, family fears the case has gone cold - ESPN

THIRTY-THREE SECONDS of black-and-white home security video capture the last moments of former NFL wide receiver Reche Caldwell's life, grainy images of two people walking out the door of a home in east Tampa. It has just started to rain on the night of June 6, 2020.

One of the figures is Caldwell. He's carrying a tote bag and his cellphone while walking down the porch steps and onto the driveway to his car. The other figure is his girlfriend, Jennifer Graciano, still holding on to the door when she appears to notice the rain. She turns to go back inside for an umbrella. Before she does, Caldwell motions for her to unlock the car with the key fob in her hand.

The video shows Caldwell on his phone while waiting for his girlfriend to return. A car passes behind him. Seconds later, the video goes dark. When it resumes several minutes later, Caldwell is lying on his back with bullet wounds in the leg and chest, his knees bent toward the sky and multiple first responders surrounding him.

Caldwell died that night before reaching the hospital. His last words to Graciano, as he was loaded into an ambulance: «Tell everybody I love them.» He was 41.

Six years later, Caldwell's family members say their frustration is growing with the lack of progress in solving the murder. They say Tampa police have the murder weapon and fingerprint evidence, along with leads that include potential suspect names.

But police haven't publicly identified any possible motive, let alone arrested anyone, in what authorities called a «targeted attack.»

Tampa Police and the State Attorney's office declined to speak to ESPN, saying the case is still open. The Hillsborough County Medical Examiner's office declined an ESPN records request.
