\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office arrested a juvenile who fired a gun at a minor and tampered with evidence.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On Saturday, March 30, 2024, at 4:37 p. m., deputies responded to the 900 block of Seminole Sky Drive in Ruskin.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The caller, Cody Shimooka,<\/strong> 15, advised that he was helping pack up a neighbor’s home when he located a firearm within a drawer and it went off when he moved it, striking a 14-year-old victim in the chest, who was transported to a local hospital and later succumbed to his injuries.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After a thorough investigation, HCSO detectives located evidence contradicting Shimooka’s <\/strong>statements. Detectives also determined that the suspect tampered with physical evidence at the scene before deputies arrived.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u201c<\/em>This type of behavior has no place in our community. Teenagers should be focused on going to school and making friends, but now we have a tragedy that will forever change the lives of all those connected,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/em>said <\/strong>Sheriff Chad Chronister.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 HCSO met with the State Attorney’s Office and approved charging Cody Shimooka<\/strong> with the following charges:<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Manslaughter with a firearm; tampering with physical evidence; and minor in possession of a firearm.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This is an active investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
