Hillsborough County deputies spent this morning on Wine Press Avenue in Riverview, working a shooting investigation that has neighbors looking for answers and officials keeping details close to the vest. It is still unclear whether anyone was hurt or if any suspects were detained, and deputies remained on scene through the morning as the case stayed active.

According to Spot On Florida, which republished a bulletin from WFLA, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that detectives were responding to the Wine Press Avenue area. WFLA reports it had reached out to the sheriff’s office for additional information but had not received further details by the time of its publication.

What Officials Say

By midday Monday, the sheriff’s office had not posted a same-day press release about the Wine Press Avenue call on its public affairs page, even though its news archive shows other recent Riverview cases. For context, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office previously detailed an April 2025 Riverview shooting that led to an arrest, according to the agency’s press release (HCSO).

What We Know And What We Do Not

The only immediate public notice of Monday’s incident came through the WFLA alert that was republished by Spot On Florida. Both outlets describe the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office as the investigating agency and do not provide information on potential victims, suspects, or a possible motive. As of now, reporters and the sheriff’s office have not released any additional official details.

How To Help

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office lists its non-emergency line and tip options on its public affairs page. Anyone with information about the Wine Press Avenue shooting can call (813) 247-8200 or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-873-TIPS, in line with the agency’s public guidance. This story will be updated if the sheriff’s office or local media publish more information.
