The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office recently detained two people involved in a Tampa shooting.
Earlier last summer, deputies responded to allegations of a shooting in Tampa’s 100 block of Bush Lane. Deputies found a victim with several gunshot wounds.
Surveillance video caught a white Acura RDX arriving shortly before the incident and the subsequent exchange of gunfire between the vehicle’s occupants and the victim.
Detectives used investigative techniques to identify 20-year-old Sean Saldana Roman as a suspect. Saldana Roman was arrested. Another suspect, 21-year-old Yariel Colon, was later identified as the gunman and detained.
Saldana Roman was charged with attempted murder in the second degree – accessory after the fact, aggravated battery with great bodily harm – accessory after the fact, discharging a firearm from a vehicle – accessory after the fact, and probation violation.
According to the HCSO, Colon was charged with Attempted Murder in the Second Degree Firearm – Discharge, Aggravated Battery Great Bodily Harm or Deadly Weapon Firearm, Discharge Firearm From a Vehicle, and Felon in Possession of a Firearm.
“These suspects’ actions put innocent lives at risk and endangered public safety,” said Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister. “We have zero tolerance for gun violence in our community. Our hard work has removed those responsible for this crime from the streets, and they will be held responsible.”
Local law enforcement reports that this is an ongoing inquiry.
