Arrest made in Sunday's deputy-involved shooting

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has arrested the suspect who shot at an HCSO deputy early Sunday morning. 

Ma'at Lee, 20, of Tampa was arrested on November 2, 2021. Lee is also the suspect involved in at least two other crimes in Hillsborough County, which took place just days before the deputy-involved shooting on Sunday. He is currently facing charges of Armed Robbery with a Firearm, Grand Theft - Firearm, Armed Carjacking and Attempted Murder of a Law Enforcement Officer. 

"Our team of detectives worked quickly and diligently to piece together the sequence of events and ultimately identify this violent suspect who shot at one of our own," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "There is no room for this type of senseless violence in Hillsborough County, and now this individual will face justice for the crimes he committed against the innocent citizens of our community."
