Police are working to fill in the gaps to find out what led to a longtime gas station clerk being found dead in Lakeland. Kimball’s vehicle was still at the gas station when he went missing, according to police.
Clerk Ricky Kimball’s body was found two days later in a wooded area on East Bella Vista Street near Lake Parker. Police identified his body on Tuesday.
“I’ve been coming to this store, probably, 28 years now. So we’ve come to know each other,” said David Lundblad, who picks up coffee at Circle K every morning. “He was a real nice guy, liked people, very pleasant to be around. This was a terrible tragedy.”
“You see this guy come up right here. You can see his hands gesturing toward him. And then you can see Rick responding,” said an employee who wished to remain anonymous.
Lakeland police say detectives have obtained several security videos.
“I hope we can get to the bottom of what happened to this guy,” said the church employee.
“I would definitely think that it’s unusual. He appeared to -from what we’ve been told – was working a normal shift, went outside for what I believe was a break and he never returned,” said Robin Tillett, public information officer for the Lakeland Police Department.
An autopsy performed by the medical examiner’s office was not able to determine a cause or manner of death, which are both pending investigation.
“There are definitely some unanswered questions that our detectives are working hard to fill in those gaps,” said Tillett. “We encourage anyone that may have any piece of information, no matter how small, to call.”
Our Condolences to the family of Clerk Ricky Kimball may his soul rest in internal peace.
