TAMPA (WFLA) – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the circumstances that led to a deadly shooting in Tampa.
Deputies responded to reports of shots fired at Raintree Oaks Apartments just after 10 p.m. on Jan. 10.
When deputies arrived at the scene, they located evidence that a shooting had occurred in the parking lot of the apartment complex but no shooting victim was located there.
