Teen Stabs Man in Brandon

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is investigating the fatal stabbing of a Brandon man.

On Sunday, June 25, 2023, at approximately 7:30 a.m., deputies responded to a home on the 900 block of Summer Breeze Drive on reports of a stabbing. Deputies located a man with upper body trauma. He was taken to Brandon Regional Hospital, where medical professionals declared him deceased. 

Not far from the scene, deputies were able to detain Caleb Beck, 17, of Brandon, where he admitted to stabbing the victim after a heated argument.

"Our hearts go out to the family of the victim who are hurting after losing their loved one to this violence," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "This teen learned too early in his life, and unfortunately too late overall, that anger should never control your actions. It's not just his life that's ruined, but so many others as well with his deadly decision."

Caleb Beck is facing one felony county of Murder in the Second Degree With A Weapon.

The investigation continues, and any new information will come from the Public Affairs Office.
