Earlier this week, Tampa Police were called to a residence in the 1000 block of E 26th Ave following reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers discovered an adult black male suffering from severe upper-body trauma. The victim was swiftly transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. A post to X allegedly shows the mugshot of the elderly suspect:

Detectives quickly unraveled the shocking details of the case. The suspect, 71-year-old Patricia Whitehead, and the victim were roommates. Whitehead, incensed by her roommate’s lack of cleanliness, took matters into her own hands. The incident unfolded as the victim was leaving their shared residence. After hearing the door slam, Whitehead retrieved her firearm from her bedroom, stepped outside, and shot the victim multiple times.
