Man Charged With Murder After Acquaintance Dies
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office is currently in- vestigating a shooting that left a woman dead. The man ac- cused of shooting her is facing a murder charge.
The shooting was reported to police shortly after 1 p.m., Tues- day. When deputies responded to the residence at 12009 Park Avenue, (in Seffner), they dis- covered that Ms. Destiny Mayes, 20, of Riverview, suf- fering from a gunshot wound in her upper torso. Hillsborough County Fire Rescue responded to the scene and Ms. Mayes was transported to Brandon Hospital, where she was pro- nounced deceased.
Detectives interviewed sev- eral witnesses at the residence and learned that an individual known as “Q” had reportedly told everyone to get out of the residence for thirty minutes. The man, later identified as 19- year-old Uthman Jalabi, of Seffner, fled the scene in a brown Crown Victoria after the shooting.
Police located Jalabi in the area of Woodberry and Falken- burg Road. The investigators said they also observed what
appeared to be blood on the dri- ver’s door handle of the vehicle. While interviewing Jalabi, detectives said he admitted to throwing a gun in the wooded area near his vehicle. He also allegedly admitted to slapping Ms. Mayes and preventing her
from leaving the residence.
He also admitted to being in possession of the firearm as well as attempting to get rid of it. The handgun, described as a .38 caliber revolver, was located in the wooded area and had only one spent casing in the
cylinder, police said.
Jalabi was taken into cus-
tody and charged with first-de- gree murder, armed kidnapping, and tampering with evidence. He is currently being held at the Hillsborough County Jail without bond.
A spokesperson for the Sheriff’s Office said the investi- gation is continuing because the witnesses gave conflicting accounts of events leading up to the shooting. The spokesperson further said that Ms. Mayes and Jalabi were acquaintances and neither of them lived at the residence where the shooting took place.
These are surveillance photos of two men suspected of burglariz- ing vehicles in an apartment complex.

UTHMAN “Q” JALABI ... Facing murder charge
Suspect Arrested On Charges Of Sexting Minors
A Winter Haven man was ar- rested Tuesday on several felony charges for sexting mi- nors and sexual battery on a minor.
Winter Haven Police detec- tives began their investigation of 62-year-old Ezekial Ortiz after they received information he was possibly sexting girls ages 16 or younger, and having inappropriate contact with them. All of the victims are ac- quainted with Ortiz through members of his family.
On September 22, 2016, de- tectives were notified there were concerns of inappropriate activity over a cell phone be- tween a 16-year-old female and Ortiz. An interview with the victim revealed that in August 2016, she didn’t have a cell phone, and Ortiz gave her one. Detectives said the victim con- sidered the phone a nice ges- ture from Ortiz with no further intentions.
Ortiz immediately began sending text messages to the victim, detectives said. Over time, the messages became more frequent, and turned sex- ual. Eventually, Ortiz allegedly requested the victim send him nude photos of herself. Detec- tives said the victim complied, although she was uncomfort- able, because she felt obligated to Ortiz for giving her the cell phone. He also reportedly pur- chased other personal items for her, such as shoes.
After the victim sent the first photo, detectives said Ortiz continued to send text mes- sages to the victim asking for more photos. The victim
EZEKIAL ORTIZ
started ignoring the text mes- sages and returned the phone to Ortiz in early September 2016.
During the initial investi- gation, a second victim was identified and interviewed. She told detectives Ortiz began sending her messages of a sex- ual nature when she was 16 that ended with sexual contact on at least five occasions at Ortiz’s residence. Additional investigations have revealed several victims Ortiz contacted through text messages. Detec- tives said at least seven girls under the age of 17 have been victimized by Ortiz.
Ortiz has been charged with sexual battery of a victim under 18, and over the age of 12, pro- moting a sexual performance by a child and two counts of using a computer to seduce/so- licit/lure a child, and use of a 2- way communication device to commit a felony. More charges are pending.
