Car connected to murder found

---

George Wallace was beaten to death in St. Petersburg Friday.

The search is over for a stolen car that disappeared after a home invasion in St. Petersburg.

St. Petersburg police are still looking for the people who beat the car's owner to death.

The 1999 Buick Regal that belonged to 85-year-old George Wallace was found near Melrose Avenue South and 19th Street. Police say a 17-year-old and a friend discovered the car Friday night with the keys in the door.

They drove the car around their south St. Petersburg neighborhood for a while before calling police.

Wallace was beaten to death by someone who broke into his home in the 6600 block of Pasadena Avenue Friday.

Police hope people living in the area where the car was found might have information about the murder. Anyone with information is asked to call St. Petersburg police at (727) 893-7780.
