RIVERVIEW, Fla. — Deputies are searching for a suspect after three people were shot in Riverview on Wednesday.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said the incident occurred in the 10000 block of Sweet Sapling Street around 6 p.m. An altercation between multiple people broke out in the neighborhood, which led to the shooting.

HCSO said Ajani Brown, 22, Tykira Franklin, 20, and Zakia Franklin, 18, were shot and suffered non-life-threatening injuries to their "lower extremities."

The victims were taken to Tampa General Hospital. Officials added that Brown was remotely booked at the hospital after they learned she had an active warrant from Alabama.

Officials added that while they have not located the suspect yet, they do have a suspect vehicle, which was spotted leaving the scene.

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information is available.
