At approximately 9:30 p.m. on May 14, 2025, officers responded to the 900 block of Waller Street for a report of shots heard in the area. While the call was being dispatched to responding officers, additional information was received by the
Communications Center that a subject may be injured. Confirmation was made of an injured victim who was at a residence within the 2900 block of Forest Hammock Drive. Contact was made with a 21-year-old adult male, who had been shot multiple times. The victim was transported to Lakeland Regional Healthcare, where he later died from his injuries.

“Our hearts go out to the victim’s family as they endure this unimaginable loss,” said Chief Richard Mills. “We are doing everything in our power – working tirelessly and using every available resource to uncover the truth and ensure that those responsible are brought to justice.”
Investigators urge residents in the area to review their security cameras for any footage that may assist in the investigation. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Plant City Police Department at (813) 757-9200.

This remains an active and ongoing investigation.
