The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a fatal shooting on the 3300 block of Maple Mex Street in Wimauma.

On April 12, 2025, at 1:57 a.m., HCSO received a 911 call reporting shots fired in the area.

Deputies arrived and found one adult male deceased. Two other adult male victims had gunshot wounds and were transported to the hospital.
