The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a Riverview man after he strangled a woman and stabbed her multiple times.
On October 28, 2026, deputies responded to a residence on the 7000 block of East 19th Avenue, where they found a woman suffering from multiple stab wounds. She was taken to Tampa General Hospital, where she is in stable condition.
Detectives with the HCSO Domestic Violence Section learned that the victim and Daniel Yerty, 36, had been in a verbal argument that turned physical.
Yerty strangled the victim and stabbed her multiple times in the neck and hands before fleeing in her vehicle.
While still on scene, detectives spotted a man matching Yerty’s description on foot nearby. Deputies confirmed his identity and took him into custody.
“This domestic abuser was in handcuffs within hours of his violent attack,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “We will never stand for this behavior, and our Domestic Violence Unit will continue its relentless pursuit of individuals like the suspect in this case.”
Yerty is charged with:
- Attempted Murder in the First Degree
- Burglary of a Dwelling with Assault or Battery
- Domestic Battery by Strangulation
- Grand Theft of a Motor Vehicle
This remains an active investigation. Any updates will be provided by the Public Affairs Office.
