2 different shootings ring in the New Year in Downtown Tampa

At Curtis Hixon Park, a cozy "winter village" was shattered by gunfire with just an hour left in 2024. Only an hour into 2025, just two blocks away, at the intersection of Tampa and Cass, a downtown intersection was covered in evidence markers.

I don't ever hang out around Christmas or New Years. This is why.

Tampa has to stop voting dem and lay the law down. I visit downtown Tampa for work every year and there’s drug addicts, homeless, and none sense. Just do not feel safe. Look at the sherif in Polk county. Get it together Tampa. Las thing you want is less visitors because you cant control your crime.

All those personal and public camera's and no pictures of the suspects?

[steffyscarpechi]

what will they do with trucks now ban them, since they are killing machines>?

Tampa PD are asking for the public's help in finding the attackers but we're not going to give a description of who we're looking for.... hmmm okay then.
