Tampa – The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has taken two individuals into custody in connection with a shooting that left a victim with multiple gunshot wounds. The incident occurred in the early hours of July 19, 2025, on the 100 block of Bush Lane.

At approximately 12:25 a.m., deputies responded to emergency reports regarding gunfire in the area. Upon their arrival, law enforcement found a victim suffering from multiple injuries related to gunfire. Investigators launched an inquiry immediately after discovering the severity of the situation.

Surveillance footage played a crucial role in the investigation, capturing a white Acura RDX that arrived at the scene shortly before the shooting commenced. The video recorded an exchange of gunfire between the occupants of the vehicle and the victim, providing critical evidence for the detectives involved.

Following the review of the footage, detectives identified Sean Saldana Roman, a 20-year-old male, as one of the individuals involved in the incident. Law enforcement arrested Roman on the same day as the shooting. Subsequent investigations led to the identification of Yariel Colon, 21, as the shooter. Colon was apprehended three days later, on July 22, 2025.

While the news release from the sheriff’s office did not specify the charges against Saldana Roman and Colon, their arrests mark significant steps in addressing the shooting incident that has raised serious public safety concerns in the community.

In response to the incident, Sheriff Chad Chronister emphasized the department’s steadfast stance against gun violence and reiterated the community’s commitment to ensuring safety.
