'His smile could light up a room'

Justice Gleason, 40, was one of four people shot and killed early Sunday morning in Lakeland. 

His name is the only one of those killed authorities have publically released. 

Before dawn Sunday, detectives say a stranger barged into a Lakeland area home, shot and killed Gleason along with a 33-year-old woman and a 3-month-old baby in her arms. 

In a nearby house on the property, a 62-year-old woman was also found dead.

The accused gunman didn't know them. Those who did are grieving and searching for answers.

Miranda Watson says she and Gleason were good friends for over a decade. They have a daughter together. 

Having to tell her daughter that her father had been murdered was a conversation Watson says she never believed she'd have to prepare for. 

Watson says while her little girl won't have a father, she'll always be his daughter.

"She has his eyes, his smile, his fun-loving attitude," Watson said.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd identified the gunman who killed Gleason as 33-year-old Bryan Riley, a former Marine and Reservist who did tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as a sharpshooter.
