The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is currently conducting a death investigation in Dover after two people were found deceased in an RV. The grim discovery was reported around 3 p.m. following a call to the Communications Center about a man found dead at the Oaklea Manor Apartments. According to the information posted by the Sheriff's Office, responding deputies located the man with a gunshot wound to the upper body, and upon searching the unit, found a woman also dead from upper body trauma.
Detectives believe that the incident is an isolated one and emphasized that there is currently no threat posed to the public. The identities of the deceased have yet to be released as the investigation ensues. In a stark posting on social media, the Sheriff's Office shared, "Two people have been found dead in an RV in Dover, leading to a death investigation by #teamHCSO." While the officials continue to thoroughly examine the scene and interview potential witnesses, the community has to simply wait, look on, and hope for swift justice.
Additional details regarding the circumstances surrounding the deaths are sparse as the investigation is ongoing. Both bodies have been taken to the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner's Office for autopsies to determine the exact cause of death.
The Sheriff's Office has asked anyone with information to come forward and assist in the investigation. The statement reaffirmed the department's determination to thoroughly investigate the incident: "When deputies arrived, they found a man dead with an apparent gunshot wound to the upper body," a chilling reminder that tragedy can indeed strike anywhere.
