TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa Police said a homicide investigation was launched Thursday after officers found a body.

TPD said the investigation started just before 9:30 a.m. when officers were called to a report of shots fired on the 1000 block of East 26th Avenue.

Officers said when they arrived on the scene, they found an adult man with upper body trauma at the scene. The victim was taken to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries.

According to TPD, the shooting appeared to be a random incident.

A South Tampa man turned to Susan Solves It after he said ADT told him he had to keep paying for a security system at his Hurricane Helene-damaged home, even though the system was so new that he never had a day of service.
