At 4:22 a.m. on March 11, 2020, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call in reference to a stabbing that had occurred inside the Last Hour Hookah Lounge, located at 7544 N Dale Mabry Highway.
At this time, detectives know the 27-year-old male victim was stabbed when he was bending down to get his cell phone off of the floor. A friend drove the victim to AdventHealth Carrollwood, where he remains in critical condition.
