TAMPA, Fla. — Police confirmed Tuesday a man shot and killed his friend accidentally in Tampa last night.
Just before midnight, police said officers responded to a report of a man who had been shot in the 4900 block of East Busch Boulevard.
Officers said they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound, who was then transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
According to a preliminary report from officers, the man and the shooter were friends. The firearm was being handled when it was discharged unintentionally, police said.
No charges have been filed yet, but the investigation is ongoing.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
