Suspect Dead Following an Officer Involved Shooting in Riverview
A 60 year-old man was shot and killed after pointing a firearm at two deputies from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
The incident occurred this morning in Riverview at approximately 3:10 a.m.
Deputies were called to 11006 Estates Del Sol Drive by a woman claiming her estranged husband showed up at her home and would not leave. Deputies Joshua Berrios and Dannett Brennan responded to the scene and made contact with the estranged husband.
He refused to respond to several of their commands, raised a firearm and continued to refuse demands to drop the weapon. Soon thereafter, he pointed a weapon at them at which time, both deputies feared for their lives and fired multiple shots at the man. He died at the scene.
Neither deputy was injured in the incident. Detectives are in the process of notifying the subject’s next of kin. His name will be released once contact has been made.
