Last night a shooting on Sydney Road resulted in one man dying. HCSO is asking for information from the public.
One man is dead following a shooting in Plant City last night.
Deputies with Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office are attempting to discover what led to the shooting that occurred at a home in the 5000 block of Sydney Road. Around 9:30 p.m. deputies responded to South Florida Baptist Hospital in reference to a shooting. A man had been transported to the hospital with a gunshot wound. According to HCSO, life-saving measures were performed on the victim, but he later died as a result of his injury.
After heading to the home and speaking with those who lived there, detectives said that it became clear the victim and the shooter knew each other. This remains an active investigation.
“If you saw or heard anything last night on Sydney Road last night, I’m urging you to please come forward with that information,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said. “What may seem like a small piece of information could go a long way into solving what happened to this victim last night.”
