On New Year's Eve, a security guard was shot in the 600 block of N. Ashley St., Tampa, while attempting to disperse a large group causing disturbances with electric dirt bike-style bicycles. The injured guard received treatment at a local hospital and has since been released.
Detectives have acquired surveillance footage showing individuals on similar bikes near Gasparilla Plaza before the shooting. Authorities suspect a link between the suspect and those captured in the video. The footage is now public to help identify additional witnesses and gather more information for the investigation.
