Tampa’s mayor isn’t mincing words when it comes to the serial killer terrorizing his city.
“Bring his head to me, all right?” Mayor Bob Buckhorn ordered police officers Wednesday in a video aired by NBC News. “Let’s go get it done.”
“We are going to hunt this son of a b— down until we catch him,” Buckhorn told officers.
The mayor also called the serial shooter a “son of a b—“ at a community meeting Monday night.
Three people have been shot dead while walking alone within a 1-mile radius in the Seminole Heights neighborhood since Oct. 9.
Police are searching for a person of interest captured in a grainy surveillance video, Police Chief Brian Dugan said. Authorities have offered $25,000 for information that leads to an arrest.

The police chief tried to reassure people ahead of Halloween, saying he’ll personally be out patrolling on the spooky night.
“I’m going to go out there, I’ll be personally on patrol, and you know what — if somebody wants to walk with me, they can walk with me. I’ll walk with their family and get candy with them,” Dugan told reporters. “I might even take some of their candy.”
