Rigoberto Vences, 28, a Hispanic/Latino man from Wimauma, was shot during an exchange of gunfire on the evening of September 16, 2025, on the 3300 block of Willow Road. Hillsborough County deputies responded just after 6:16 p.m. to reports of gunfire and found two wounded men. Investigators later identified the victims as Rigoberto Vences and 27-year-old Osvaldo Rodriguez and described the incident as a double homicide after both men died at a hospital.

Authorities say the shooting followed an argument that escalated into a violent confrontation and an exchange of gunfire between two adult men. The sheriff’s office confirmed Vences’s death and described the investigation as active; no arrests had been announced and no other suspects were identified beyond the two men involved. Limited public details remain about what led up to the fatal encounter.

Did anyone in Wimauma see or hear anything on Willow Road around 6:16 p.m. on September 16 that could help clarify how the argument escalated?
