A University of Tampa student was shot and killed early Saturday morning after authorities say that he got out of his rideshare and tried to get into another car.
Carson Senfield was celebrating his 19th birthday with friends when he was killed.
Authorities are not sure why he tried to enter the second vehicle. However, authorities said, “So far it seems he may have been intoxicated from drinking with friends and this led to the accidental entering of the vehicle.”
“According to witnesses, the individual was hanging out with friends on South Howard Ave and had caught an Uber to his residence near the 1000 block of W Arch St just prior to the incident,” police said. “After exiting his Uber, the individual attempted to enter the vehicle of another adult male parked nearby.”
“The driver, who did not know the individual or why he was forcing his way into his vehicle, shot the man, striking him in the upper body,” police say. “The driver said he feared for his life.”
Senfield died from the gun shot wound a few minutes after being shot and the shooter, who remained at the scene, is currently cooperating with detectives.
It’s unclear if the shooter will face any charges. Police have not identified him, but said, “Any potential charges will be decided by the State Attorney’s Office.”
Senfield’s family is mourning their sudden loss.
“He was such a bright light to everybody; he was an apple in everybody’s eye,” his father, Darren said. “He was such a generator of great vibes.”
“We don’t have our son, we’re mourning, we’re heartbroken, we’re devastated,” Darren Senfield continued. “It was a senseless tragedy that we’re still trying to figure out, but at this point, it doesn’t really matter, we don’t have our Carson with us.”
Investigation is still being undertaken at this time and details will be further released after police come to a conclusion.
Lets hope to heaven Biden doesn’t run again. He’s created enough of a mess with our country during this term. He’s a biggest phony, liar and cheat that we’ve had in office for along time. He has our economy in a terrible mess. Being a senior in America is for sure not golden years since Biden happen. Go away Biden, give us a break. By the way he’s to old, he’s an embarrassment to all Americans. He’s become a joke to the rest of the world.
Correction….he’s all of what you said, but “He’s a biggest phony, liar and cheat that we’ve had in office for along time.” Should be ….”had in our office since the dark years of 2016-2020”….that was much worse.
You’re just like the rest of the Dumicrats out there. You refuse to see the truth. Do you really believe the crap that you say?
