ANTONIO HOUSE
Deputies Involved
In Unrelated Shootings
Two Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies were in- volved in shootings last Thurs- day. The shootings were unrelated.
The first shooting took place after deputies received a 9-1-1 call about a man with a gun knocking on doors and ringing doorbells. The man left the area before deputies arrived. He and a female were later lo- cated in a field.
When deputies came in con- tact with the van, Guy Rus- sell McDonald reportedly got out of the van with the gun in his hand. McDonald re- fused to drop the gun after several warnings.
In fear of his life, Deputy Mijail Sequeira, 31, fired his service revolver and struck McDonald one time. Mc- Donald was transported to a local hospital by helicopter. He was treated for non-life threat- ening injuries and later dis- charged.
The female passenger, who police have not identified, was also transported to the hospi- tal for conditions not related to the shooting. No other in- juries were reported in the shooting.
Police said McDonald, 49, was arrested and charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm.
Deputy Sequeira was placed on administrative du- ties in keeping with depart- mental policy, pending the outcome of the investigation.
In the second shooting, Deputy David Cloud, 28, was on routine patrol when he observed a suspicious person in the 5300 block of Brushy Creek Drive. Deputy Cloud followed the individual for a short distance before getting out of his vehicle.
Police said the deputy at- tempted to talk to Babak Payrow, but Babak began to aggressively approach him. Deputy Cloud told Babak to get back several times.
Babak, 35, is alleged to have pulled a 10” screwdriver from a bag. Deputy Cloud then pulled his service re- volver and shot Babak at least once.
Babak was transported to a local hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.
Deputy Cloud was placed on administrative duty in keeping with departmental policy, pending the outcome of the investigation.

Deputies said Tyler Gar- cia, Tyson Garcia, and an unidentified Black man walked over to Lot #23, where a second fight took place outside the residence.
Witnesses told police that Tyson Garcia produced a handgun and shot Ms. Platt, who was standing in the doorway, watching the fight. Tyson Garcia then fled the scene with the gun.
Deputies located Tyson Garcia and took him into custody without incident. They also recovered the gun.
Tartaglia was arrested for hitting Tyler Garcia dur- ing the incident. Tyler Garcia received a minor injury and refused medical attention.
