MIAMI, Fla. -- Miami police have named a suspect in the murder of a Coconut Grove man who was gunned down in his driveway -- and it's not the first time this suspect has been connected to this kind of crime.
Police are looking for 31-year-old Anthony Lee (pictured, left). Investigators looking for Lee say that he may have fled the state.Lee is suspect in the murder Thursday of prominent Coconut Grove businessman Jose Calvo. He was shot to death in front of his wife and son."He shot him for a Rolex. He's a bad, bad man and somebody needs to turn him in," said the victim's wife, Denise Calvo (pictured, right).Police say Jose Calvo was shot in the head in a carjacking and robbery gone bad. His wife reached for a gun inside the car and fired back."I grabbed the gun and I started shooting the guy because I thought, 'He can't get away, he can't get away,' because my husband was being robbed at gunpoint and there wasn't anything I could do about that, but what I could do something about was they couldn't take the car, ultimately with my son. And I asked the policeman and they said, 'Carjackers don't let you take your baby out of the back seat,'" she said.Lee is wounded, and police said a blood sample taken from the getaway vehicle matches Lee's DNA.
Investigators said that Lee committed a similar crime just over 10 years ago and just got out of jail last year.Lee shot lawyer Ronald Guralnick in Coconut Grove driveway in 1992 and stole his Rolex. Guralnick survived the shooting."He shot me for nothing. He already had what he wanted. The state attorney knew that. How could they plead him concurrent jail time?" Guralnick said. "If they had listened to me and not pled him concurrently and he had gotten more jail time, Mr. Calvo would still be alive."Lee has been arrested 14 times, has an extensive record that dates back to April 1988. He has been arrested on charges ranging from possession and sale of illegal drugs, cocaine and marijuana, grand theft, armed burglary, and carrying a concealed weapon, to aggravated assault with a shotgun, strong arm robbery, and armed robbery with a gun.Police and relatives are asking the public for help in finding Lee. There is a $16,000 reward for information leading to his arrest."There are people out there that know something. And there best bet is to come to us before we come to them because the longer they wait, the more severe the problem is going to be for them," said Miami police Officer Delrish Moss.Lee is described as 5 feet 3 inches tall, weighing around 158 pounds. He has several tattoos: on his left arm, a tiger and a joker; and on his right arm, a heart and No. 1 Mom.Police say it is likely that Lee will seek medical care. He is to be considered armed and extremely dangerous.If you have any information about the whereabouts of Anthony Lee or this crime, you are asked to call Miami-Dade CrimeStoppers at (305) 471-TIPS.
