At 1:30 am on April 9, 2022, deputies responded to the 15400 block of Jazzberry Way after a 911 caller reported his son had been shot in the head.

The suspects fled in a vehicle, and father and son drove around the area, looking for them. Upon seeing the vehicle of the alleged burglars, and driving up to it, the son, a Hispanic man in his 20s, was shot. He was transported to a local hospital and is expected to survive.
No suspects have been arrested at this time. TCSO’s investigation is ongoing.
