According to investigators, at approximately 12:45 a.m. on Sunday, February 16, 2020, officers with the Treasure Island Police Department were dispatched to a crash at 10133 Gulf Boulevard. When officers arrived, they discovered 27-year-old Nolan Ryan Webb on the northbound side of Gulf Boulevard. Treasure Island Fire Rescue pronounced him deceased on scene.
