TAMPA - A 19-year-old man accused of shooting a man in the leg after an argument in a parking lot has been charged with attempted murder, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said Tuesday, Nov. 10.
Deputies were called just after midnight on Nov. 5 for a report of a shooting, according to the Sheriff's Office. Investigators say the victim had argued with a man in a parking lot, and as the victim walked away, the man pulled out a gun and fired twice, hitting him once in the leg. The victim was taken to a hospital in stable condition, the Sheriff's Office said.
Detectives identified the 19-year-old and obtained an arrest warrant charging him with attempted second-degree murder with a firearm, aggravated battery causing great bodily harm or with a deadly weapon, and discharging a firearm in public or on residential property, according to the release.
Tampa Police arrested him on Nov. 9 on an unrelated warrant for five counts of violation of probation in a 2024 aggravated battery case, the Sheriff's Office said. The charges are accusations, and he has not been convicted.
The Sheriff's Office said the investigation is ongoing.
