BRANDON, Fla. (WFLA) — A 17-year-old boy is facing a felony charge after allegedly stabbing a man to death Sunday in a Brandon home.
According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, Caleb Beck stabbed the victim around 7:30 a.m. in the 900 block of Summer Breeze Drive.
Deputies said the victim was found with upper body trauma. He was transported to Brandon Regional Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
“Our hearts go out to the family of the victim who are hurting after losing their loved one to this violence,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said in a statement. “This teen learned too early in his life, and unfortunately too late overall, that anger should never control your actions.
