Tampa shooting suspect tracked down in Jamaica after four-month manhunt
A man wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of a 24-year-old in Tampa has been arrested after being located in Jamaica, fox13news.com reports. Forrest Jackson, 34, was deported to the United States and taken into custody on 25 October — more than four months after the killing.
Deputies from the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) responded to a shooting near the intersection of Regents Park Drive and Bruce B Downs Boulevard on 17 June 2024, just before 3 p.m. Victim Kyle Prisco, 24, was found with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Investigators identified Jackson as the shooter and named Terrance Robinson, 34, as an accomplice who assisted in the course of the murder. Robinson was arrested in Ohio on 3 July.
Jackson was subsequently found in Jamaica, deported to the US, and placed in custody. The HCSO worked alongside the United States Marshals Service, Border Patrol, and Miami-Dade Police Department to secure the arrest.
Sheriff Chad Chronister credited the outcome to inter-agency cooperation. "Thanks to the relentless efforts of our detectives, we've taken a crucial step toward justice with the arrest of this second suspect," Chronister said. "Together, we stand committed to protecting our communities and supporting those in need."
The sheriff's office has not released a mugshot of Jackson.
