LAKELAND, Fla. — Family and friends said their good-byes Saturday to Abraham Shakespeare, a murdered lottery winner from Polk County. Shakespeare's funeral services were held at the New Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Lakeland.
Deputies found his remains found buried under a concrete slab last week at a home in Plant City. The home belongs to the boyfriend of a woman who befriended Shakespeare in 2007.
That woman, Dorice "Dee Dee" Moore, is in the Hillsborough County jail and is charged with accessory after the fact in first degree murder of Shakespeare. Hillsborough County Sheriff David Gee says the investigation is far from over and that she could face additional charges.
Moore's bond has been set at $1 million dollars.
Shakespeare won $30 million playing the Florida Lottery in 2006 and took home a lump sum of $17 million. He was last seen in April. Investigators say he was murdered, but his cause of death hasn't been released.
