Tampa police say it appears “the man and woman were arguing when the fight turned physical, and another person inside the home tried to intervene.”<\/p>\n
TAMPA, Fla. \u2014 Tampa police say a woman was found dead, and a man was found with stab wounds, early Thursday morning. Now, detectives are investigating.<\/p>\n
Around 1 a.m., officers responded to reports of a person shot in the area of Ninevah Road, close to Takomah Trail Park.<\/p>\n
Officers said they arrived to find a woman in her early 20’s with upper body trauma, and a man in his late 20’s with “injuries consistent with stab wounds.”<\/p>\n
Despite life-saving efforts performed by Tampa Fire Rescue, the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. The man was transported to a local hospital, where he is said to be stable.<\/p>\n
“Based on the preliminary investigation, it is believed that the man and woman were arguing when the fight turned physical, and another person inside the home tried to intervene,” a spokesperson for the Tampa police said Thursday. “Detectives are currently gathering information regarding the circumstances of the incident and each person\u2019s involvement.”<\/p>\n
Tampa police added that the people involved knew each other, noting that this incident is not related to another homicide investigation on North 12th Street.<\/p>\n
The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Tampa Mayor Jane Castor highlighted a decrease in homicides in the city in 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just had a 44 percent reduction in our homicides last year. We only had 19 in our city, which is really incredible,\u201d Castor said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
