Talance Callins, an 18-year-old from Tampa, Florida, was shot and killed in the early morning hours of March 20, 2020. Officers responded to reports of gunfire around 12:26 AM at the intersection of North 25th Street and East 18th Avenue and found Callins with fatal gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives determined Callins had been shot multiple times and opened a homicide investigation. Investigators pursued several leads and followed tips from the public but reported no immediate arrests; a lack of witnesses and concrete evidence initially hampered the probe. The community held vigils and memorials in the months afterward, and police encouraged anyone with information to come forward, offering rewards for tips that could lead to an arrest.

Does anyone in the Tampa area have information about that night or recall seeing anything near North 25th Street and East 18th Avenue around 12:26 AM on March 20, 2020?
