TAMPA, Fla. – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is working to identify a man believed to be the shooter in an incident that occurred outside of a hookah lounge on Sunday.
At 3:40 a.m. on March 21, a victim was seated in his vehicle outside the Sky Hookah Lounge, 7748 Hillsborough Avenue, where a party was underway. According to the victim, a suspect approached him with a gun and shot at his vehicle. The suspect quickly fled the area immediately after the shooting.
