Double Homicide Investigation Underway in Wimauma

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is investigating a double homicide after two people were shot and killed in Wimauma. 

On September 16, 2025, at 6:16 p.m., HCSO received a 911 call about a shooting on the 3300 block of Willow Road. 

Detectives believe that two adult males got into an argument and exchanged gunfire. Both sustained injuries and were transported to the hospital, where they later died.

"This tragic event reminds us that disputes can escalate quickly with deadly consequences," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "This type of violence on our streets puts innocent residents at risk and will not be tolerated."

This remains an active investigation. Updates will be provided by the Public Affairs Office.
