TAMPA - A Tampa man is accused of gunning down his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend Wednesday night, police say.
Officers arrested 33-year-old Damien Michael Townes and charged him with second-degree murder in the death of 39-year-old Charon Shaw outside a Tampa home.
It happened around 10 p.m. at 315 E. Woodlawn Ave.
Police say 911 dispatchers received a call from Townes’ girlfriend, Leah Waring, saying there was an incident involving her ex-boyfriend.
After hanging up the phone, police say she called again, screaming “get your hands off me” into the phone and crying.
Officers responded, and when they arrived on scene, they found Shaw in the front lawn.
He had suffered several gunshots to his upper body. He was taken to Tampa General Hospital where he died from his injuries.
