The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has arrested the man responsible for a 2022 fatal shooting outside a liquor store in Plant City.
Oscar Juan Molina, 48, was taken into custody on July 2, 2025, after he was located in Hillsborough County.
Molina was wanted in connection to a homicide that occurred on April 13, 2022, at Twilight Zone Liquor, located at 4010 State Road 60 East. A fight inside the business escalated into a shooting in the parking lot, where one person was killed.
Since the incident, Molina fled to Mexico and remained out of the country. After learning he had returned to Hillsborough County, HCSO swiftly took action and apprehended this dangerous individual.
“This arrest brings long-awaited closure to the victim’s family and sends a clear message: we never stop seeking justice,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. "This suspect believed he could disappear, but our determination to bring justice to victims and their families never fades. Thanks to the relentless efforts of our detectives, this dangerous individual is now exactly where he belongs, behind bars."
