TAMPA, Fla. — The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) said it is investigating a double stabbing involving two University of South Florida students in Tampa on Wednesday morning.
HCSO said the suspect found dead at 3600 East Fletcher Avenue in Tampa is 21-year-old Hansel Pearson.
According to HCSO, Pearson and one of the stabbed victims were roommates at an apartment complex on North 46th Street.
HCSO said a man called 911 just before 4:30 a.m. on June 3, reporting that he and another person had been stabbed at an apartment complex on North 46th Street.
Deputies said both victims are in stable condition, and all individuals involved have been identified and accounted for.
The suspect and one of the victims are students at the University of South Florida, according to deputies.
This is an active investigation.
This incident comes just a month after USF students told Tampa Bay 28 reporter Jada Williams about their safety concerns and how they're reconsidering their living arrangements following learning two doctoral students were murdered by an off-campus roommate.
This is a developing story. Tampa Bay 28 will provide more details as they become available.
