The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is investigating a deadly shooting that took place Monday night on Gibsonton Drive.
Deputies say around 10:09 p.m. several 911 calls were received about a shooting near the Murphy USA gas station. There, deputies found a man who had been shot.
The man was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital where investigators say he was pronounced dead.
"The investigation is in the early stages, but this shooting does not appear to be a random act. At this time, we believe the victim and the shooter knew each other," Sheriff Chad Chronister said.
Deputies later released photos of a person of interest believe to be connected to the shooting. The sheriff's office described the man as dark-skinned between the age of 20-30, with a muscular build. He was last seen wearing a white shirt, light colored pants and an orange hat.
Anyone who knows this man's identity is asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at 813-247-8200.
