The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a homicide case after a woman was found dead in her home on April 25, 2025. The deceased has been identified as Heidi Berberovic, 58, who was discovered with upper body trauma inside her residence located in the 5300 block of Southwick Drive. Her estranged spouse, Jasmin Berberovic, 55, has been identified as a suspect in the case.
Deputies responded to a call reporting possible shots fired in the area at approximately 9:34 p.m. Upon arrival, they found Heidi Berberovic’s body. Following their initial investigation, authorities identified her estranged husband as a primary suspect. The following day, on April 26, 2025, Jasmin Berberovic was found dead inside a home on the 5600 block of Tranquility Oaks Drive. Preliminary findings suggest his death was the result of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
This tragic series of events has been described by Sheriff Chad Chronister as a “heartbreaking case of domestic violence” that has affected both the family and the wider community. The Sheriff’s Office has expressed its commitment to seeking justice for victims and supporting those impacted by domestic violence. Investigators are currently working to gather further evidence and provide clarity on this developing case.
Details of the Incident
Law enforcement officials received the emergency call regarding possible gunfire shortly before 9:34 PM on April 25. Immediate response from deputies led to the grim discovery of Heidi Berberovic’s body inside her home. She had sustained significant trauma to her upper body, which prompted further investigative efforts. Evidence collected at the scene led officials to suspect her estranged spouse, Jasmin Berberovic, as being involved in her death.
Discovery of Jasmin Berberovic
Less than 24 hours after the initial homicide investigation began, deputies located Jasmin Berberovic’s body at a separate residence. He was found in a home on Tranquility Oaks Drive, and it is suspected that he succumbed to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. This development raises questions about the dynamics of their relationship and the potential history of domestic violence leading to this tragic conclusion.
