According to WFLA, deputies responded to the scene at the 11200 block of Causeway Boulevard this past Tuesday.

Witness descriptions have been gathered, pointing to a man about 6 feet tall, weighing around 200 pounds, who was seen wearing a tan shirt and khaki pants at the time of the incident. The suspect, as described, is believed to have been driving the black sedan involved in the shooting. Details provided by authorities urge anyone with information to come forward and to not hesitate to contact detectives at 813-247-8200. The urgency to apprehend the assailant has been palpably felt in the quiet arrival of law enforcement's call to action.
