Kyle Farishian was an 18-year-old store clerk at a Punta Gorda 7-Eleven when he was murdered on November 1, 2015.
The store’s 24/7 CCTV captured the suspect’s entrance and distinctive limp and mannerisms despite attempts to disguise himself with gloves and a hoodie. A neighbor who saw the released footage recognized the limp and mannerisms and identified the suspect as Michael Russo. Russo reportedly had a long history of prior criminal behavior and prior harassment of 7-Eleven staff.
In July 2017, Michael Russo was found guilty of second-degree murder and first-degree arson and received life plus an additional 25 to 30 years to be served consecutively. If anyone knew Kyle, his routine at the store, or saw activity near that 7-Eleven on November 1, 2015, please come forward with information.
