HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — Hillsborough County deputies are investigating a homicide after a woman was found dead inside a home on Friday.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) reports that they have identified and located the suspect as 55-year-old Jasmin Berberovic. Deputies say Berberovic is the victim's estranged spouse.

Detectives found Berberovic dead inside a home on the 5600 block of Tranquility Oaks Drive, with what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

At 9:34 p.m., the HCSO received a 911 call reporting that shots were fired near the 5300 block of Southwick Drive in Tampa.

When deputies arrived, they found the adult female victim dead in the home with upper body trauma.

"This is a heartbreaking loss of life that has shaken our community," said Hillsborough Sheriff Chad Chronister. "Our deputies and detectives are committed to uncovering the truth and holding the individual accountable for this violence."

The case was an isolated incident, and there was no danger to the community, HCSO officials said.

The HCSO Public Affairs Office will provide any additional information.

"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.
