Dover man arrested in fatal shooting at club

After being pepper sprayed and kicked out of a Tampa Club on Sunday morning, a Dover man was arrested for a fatal shooting that followed.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, Dougie Glidden, 18, was at Club 301, located at 8222 U.S. Highway 301 in Tampa when he shot Maribel Sanchez-Garza, 49, of Plant City, at about 3:01 a.m.

Witnesses identified Glidden as the one who was ejected from the club. Video surveillance shows Glidden leaving and smashing out the passenger side window of a white truck, using his forearms and fists. He suffered severe cuts and lacerations and began bleeding profusely. A blood trail led to a rear parking lot where a .380 casing and projectile were located.

Video surveillance then shows a white Jeep Cherokee SUV four-door leaving the scene, heading northbound on U.S. Highway 301 and passing in front of the nightclub. The suspect fired five to six shots in the direction of the club.

According to the HCSO, Glidden entered South Florida Baptist Hospital with severe lacerations and bruising to his arms and fists. He made statements indicating he was the subject that had been pepper sprayed and had broken the window.

Detectives obtained a search warrant for the Glidden’s home and located a Taurus .380 in his bedroom, as well as bloody clothing worn at the club. The white Jeep Cherokee was located at a friend’s house and impounded.

Glidden was arrested and transported to Orient Road Jail. He currently faces one count of second degree murder, according to the sheriff’s office.
