TAMPA, Fla. — A man was found shot inside an SUV early Sunday morning in Tampa.
Deputies responded to the area of 131st Ave. E and 15th St. N around 12:41 a.m. after they received multiple 911 calls reporting gunshots and someone shot. When they arrived, they found a man inside a dark-colored SUV who had been shot in his upper body.
Hillsborough County Fire Rescue also responded to the scene and transported the man to a local hospital where he later died.
