A man who Orlando police say was responsible for stabbing another man after the two argued at the Comfort Suites motel more than one week ago has been located.
Police said, Earl Milton Keller, 58, who is in the Orange County Jail on unrelated charges, was arrested and charged with attempted felony murder, aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, carjacking, battery and petit theft from a taxi driver.
Investigators learned that Keller hired the victim, Bruce T. Tooker on March 15, to drive him to Daytona Beach and back.
Keller attacked Tooker with a butcher-style knife upon their return to the Comfort Suites motel, slashing him multiple times. Keller fled the motel in Tooker’s 2002 Black Lincoln Towncar.
Police identified Keller as the suspect in this crime on March 21. The victim’s vehicle has still not been found.
Orlando police are asking the public to continue to look for the 2002 Black Lincoln Towncar with Florida tag/J545UH.
Police are advising anyone who locates the vehicle not to touch it or approach the suspect. Instead, call police immediately or Crimeline at #1-800-423-TIPS.
Callers may remain anonymous and be eligible for a reward up to $1,000.
