The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is conducting a homicide investigation that left one dead in the parking lot of The Twilight Zone Lounge in Plant City.

On February 3, 2024, at 3:54 a.m. HCSO received a 911 call that an unknown individual had shot an adult man.

When deputies arrived, they found Pablo Torres Orozco, 32, with a gunshot wound. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.

"Our hearts ache for this family for their lost loved one over senseless violence," said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "Our detectives are gathering every piece of information to find what led to this crime. We are committed to bringing justice to the victim and his family and finding who is responsible for this tragic loss of life."
