Source text · highlightedSaturday, March 2nd 2002 Benjamin McDaniel Murder- Bradenton Case. Rodriguez was riding a bicycle south on 15th St. East near 26th Ave. East at night. His bike was struck in the rear by a vehicle that fled the scene. On March 2, 2002 at 1:35 a.m. (early Saturday morning) Michael Norman Rodriguez was riding his bicycle south on 15th St. East near 26th Avenue East. This location is about 1 mile south of the Bradenton City Limits in Manatee County. He was struck from behind by an unknown vehicle. The driver fled the scene, going south on 15th St. East. The unknown vehicle struck the bicycle with the right front; therefore damage from the collision should be on the right front of the vehicle and possibly on the hood and even the windshield from contact with the body after the initial impact. Rodriguez was 49 years old and was reported to be from the Pompano Beach area.
