HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) has charged a 19-year-old with murder after a man was found shot at an apartment complex in Tampa.
On Sunday at 3:45 a.m., HSCO said they responded to reports of shots fired at 12401 Orange Grove Drive.
When deputies arrived, they found the male victim lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. The man was taken to the hospital, but died from his injuries, according to HCSO.
Through the investigation, detectives identified Jesiah Deangelo-Cruz, 19, as a suspect. HCSO said Deangelo-Cruz was wanted in a domestic violence incident, and HCSO was able to obtain a warrant for his arrest.
The HCSO said that the Pasco Sheriff's Office helped to locate him in Pasco County and he was arrested. He is being held in Pasco County, awaiting extradition, HCSO said.
Deangelo-Cruz is charged with premeditated first-degree murder with a firearm, armed kidnapping, aggravated assault and battery.

"I cried, of course, because I've worked very hard getting it nice, which has been difficult for me since I lost my husband and being alone,” Kelly Welty said.
Welty's mobile home lost its roof during Hurricane Milton. She said it was the only one in the Buena Vista community to get totaled by a tornado.
