Hillsborough County Sheriff’s detectives are investigating a shooting death that occurred last Thursday in the Town ‘N Country area.

Detectives said at 11 p. m., deputies responded to the Beacon Isles Apartments on Sheldon Road on a report of a shooting.

Detectives said Rogelio Garcia-Maristany, 35, and Tommy Nelson, Jr., 22, got into an argument that turned physical when Garcia-Maristany attacked Nelson. Deputies said Nelson, in an attempt to stop the attack, shot Garcia-Maristany. Both men were armed at the time.

Garcia-Maristany died at the scene. Nelson called  9-1-1 to report the incident and remained at the scene until deputies arrived.

Detectives are conducting interviews and consulting with the State Attorney’s Office on the incident.
