Detectives found a vehicle Monday evening believed to be involved in a deadly drive-by shooting outside a Tampa apartment complex on North 50th Street, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said. 

Deputies said they were dispatched to the Del Rio Apartments just after 2:15 p.m. on Monday after receiving calls about the shooting.

Investigators believe a vehicle drove past the Del Rio Apartments and opened fire several times before driving away. That same vehicle was found by authorities and is now a part of their ongoing homicide investigation, HCSO said.

"We're not sure exactly if they were targeting one person, if they're targeting a vehicle," HCSO Spokesperson Marco Villarreal said.

Hillsborough County deputies confirmed they don't have a suspect in custody. They said it's unclear if the victim knew the people inside the vehicle at the time of the shooting. 

Anyone with information is asked to call the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office at (813) 247-8200.
