TAMPA - With an arrest warrant in hand, two detectives are on their way to pick up Joshua Wilkins, accusing him of grand theft of a car rented by a Tampa homicide victim, Hillsborough County sheriff's deputies say.
The 1998 Honda Accord rented by Wesley Aaron Bonham was recovered early Sunday morning in Texas, authorities said.
The person driving that vehicle, Joshua Wilkins, was arrested in Boerne, about 30 miles northwest of San Antonio. Wilkins was charged in Texas with driving an unauthorized vehicle.
Hillsborough County deputies haven't determined whether Wilkins is a suspect in Bonham's murder, sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.
Bonham was found dead late Friday inside an apartment complex near the University of South Florida campus.
Bonham, 28, was found by one of his roommates at about 6 p.m. with "trauma to his upper torso" inside a common area at the Breckenridge Apartment complex at 14511 Valor Circle, sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter said. It's not clear what caused his injuries.
According to Carter, the spot where the man was found links four units. The common area is a quirk of the apartment complex, and none of the roommates know each other very well, Carter said.
A resident of one of the units came home and saw blood. He left and called for help.
Responding deputies found Bonham's body. After securing a search warrant, detectives entered the apartment to investigate and were processing the scene overnight, Carter said.
Bonham had been driving the rental car with an Oklahoma license tag.
