Tampa Police Investigating Overnight Ybor City Shooting

YBOR CITY, FL. – On Saturday at 2:49 a.m., officers were in the immediate area of Angel Oliva St and 8th Ave when multiple gunshots were heard.

During the investigation, officers learned two groups were involved in a verbal altercation that resulted in an exchange of gunfire.

An adult male and adult female victim involved in the dispute sustained non-life-threatening injuries as a result of the shooting. Officers say although early in the investigation, this does not appear to be a random act.

Several subjects from one group were immediately detained and identified, and officers are actively attempting to identify and locate subjects from the opposing group.

We will update this story when details are released.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crimestoppers of Tampa Bay at 1.800.873.TIPS.
