Family still searching for answers after arrest in teen's shooting death

Family of a 14-year-old said they are relieved that her killer is behind bars but they are still searching for answers about the teen's death.

Bryan Goggins, 24, was wanted for the murder of Tamia Sanders in Jacksonville.

Sanders was shot and killed just days before the school year started in August.

U.S. marshals and Jacksonville Sheriff's Office tracked Goggins to Tallahassee, where he was arrested after a short standoff on Monday.

Action News Jax spoke to Sanders' grandfather Robert Gibbs.

"I hope he burn in hell,” Gibbs said. "She was only 14.”

Goggins is accused of murdering Sanders and shooting three adults in Jacksonville on Aug. 12.

Gibbs said his granddaughter had no reason to be killed.

Sanders attended Lake Shore Middle School and was going to begin her freshman year at Lee High.

Gibbs told Action News Jax he is still searching for answers in her death.

"There are going to be more arrests," he said. "It ain’t just him. It’s more than him.”

Goggins will have a first appearance and extradition hearing on Tuesday.
