Officer Dave Northway told INSIDE EDITION, Our investigators do not believe this was a random act. We believe Mr. Markel was the intended victim in this case.
The 41-year-old Florida State University professor was a nationally recognized legal scholar. His friend, attorney Reggie Garcia, lives a block away. He said, I was shocked. Everyone who knew him was shocked. He had a good sense of humor. He was also a mild mannered law professor.
