On October 29, 2023, at around 3:00 am, a mass shooting occurred in the Ybor City district of Tampa, Florida, United States, at the popular tourist area of 7th Ave. A fight broke out between two groups, killing 20-year-old Harrison Boonstoppel and 14-year-old Elijah Wilson, and injuring 16 others. Three suspects have been arrested, one at the scene, while police believe another is at large.
The suspects are believed to be members of the “No Hesitation Committee” (NHC) and K4K, which police say means “Kill for Kamari”, a reference to a friend; Kamari Kerr, who died four years earlier. They say the group’s initials stand for “Kindness for Kamari”. The suspects are believed to be former students of Braulio Alonso and A. P. Leto High Schools. When the suspects appeared in court, prosecutors presented online video evidence of escalating tensions between the two groups.
