Barbershop Identified Amid Heavy Law Enforcement Response
Tampa Bay 28 reported a large law enforcement presence outside a barbershop in Riverview on Thursday evening, identifying the location as Southern Stylez Barber Shop in the 10000 block of US-301. The station's report did not include further details about what led up to the shooting or how many people were on scene when it happened.
Investigators have not released additional details, with the case remaining an active investigation. WFLA noted that no further information could be shared at the time of its report, a point echoed by the lack of updates from the sheriff's office public information office since the initial media update Thursday night.
No Suspect or Motive Confirmed

Riverview has seen other shootings reported in recent months, though none of those cases are connected to Thursday's incident. In a separate shooting on April 8, 2025, at the intersection of U.S. Highway 301 and Balm Riverview Road, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said a dispute between a man in a vehicle and a man on an electric bicycle preceded the shooting that killed 45-year-old Peter Meyer, who died after being transported to a hospital with a gunshot wound to the chest. In another case, deputies arrived around 4:02 a.m. on Feb. 15 to find a man with an apparent shotgun wound to his face and foot, and per Tampa Bay 28, that victim was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
Thursday's shooting remains under active investigation, and anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office as deputies continue working to determine what happened outside the Riverview barbershop.
