Crime
On Tuesday evening Hillsborough County deputies responded to an apartment complex in refer- ence to a domestic violence complaint. The call ended with a teenager being shot by one of the responding deputies.
According to the Hillsborough County Sher- iff’s Office, two 9-1-1 calls were received around 7:42 p.m. The callers reported a domestic violence situation in which two people were at-
tacked.
When the deputies ar-
rived at the incident in the 1200 block, of Skipper Road, they were told that a 17-year- old had hit his sister and “knocked out his mother.” The callers told police no weapons were involved, but one of the victims was bleed- ing. The callers also said the suspect had left the area on

The callers also told po-
lice the teenager was wearing an all red jumpsuit. When deputies arrived at the apart- ment complex, the suspect was gone.
Several minutes later,
Deputy Daniel Estanis- lau located and made con- tact with the suspect.
Police said, “At the time, Deputy Estanislau be- came in fear for his safety and due to his belief that the suspect possessed a weapon, he then ordered the suspect to “Drop the gun, drop the gun.”
The deputy then fired two rounds from his service weapon, striking the suspect once in the upper body. When investigators arrived at the scene, no weapon was found.
The teenager was trans- ported to Tampa General
Hospital, where he is listed in critical, but stable condi- tion. A family member told a local television station that the teenager was shot in the back and that he can’t feel his legs.
The Sheriff’s Office has not released any information pertaining to where the teenager was shot.

Deputy Estanislau, 26, was hired in October 2015. He has been placed on ad- ministrative leave pending the outcome of the investiga- tion. The investigation is continuing.
