TAMPA, Fla. — Hillsborough County Sheriff's deputies say they are looking into an apartment complex shooting Monday afternoon in Tampa where a man was found dead.
At around 2:15 p.m., authorities received reports regarding a shooting at Del Rio Apartments on North 50th Street in Tampa, the sheriff's office said in a news release.
That's where they reportedly found the dead man in front of the complex.
Speaking during a news conference, HCSO spokesperson Marco Villarreal said a car drove down a street near the apartment complex and opened fire on the man.
There were lots of shell casings located at the scene, Villarreal mentioned, and authorities have found a car nearby that matched the one involved in the shooting.
Deputies are still looking to identify any suspects but are working with homeowners and business owners in the area to gather surveillance video.
"Our detectives work hard to solve these cases, and ensure the violent criminals that terrorize our communities see justice," Hillsborough County Sheriff Chadd Chronister said in a statement. "This shooting not only killed a man, but it endangered the lives of families who live and were enjoying their Memorial Day outside."
Additionally, Villarreal said law enforcement is working to determine if the incident was a targeted attack and if the man killed knew the people in the vehicle where the shots came from.
Anyone with information regarding the shooting is asked to call the sheriff's office at 813-247-8200.
