TAMPA, Fla. — The Tampa Police Department (TPD) has charged a man with the double homicide that occurred on Saturday.

Robert Webb, 65, was charged with two felony counts of first-degree murder, armed burglary and assault or battery.

TPD said the shooting happened near the 1100 block of Ray Charles Blvd around 1:15 p.m.

The investigation revealed that on May 27, Webb was told about some allegations that both victims had claimed about him, which angered the suspect, according to a TPD press release. Webb and the two victims were known to each other.

On Saturday, Webb parked in the garage of the apartment complex, gained entry to the stairs of the residential building, and waited for the victims in the hallway where they were fatally shot. Shortly after the shooting, Webb turned himself into officers and the firearm used in the crime.

Webb was booked into the Orient Road Jail.
