As discussed by Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco, at 12:58 a.m. on Thursday, September 10, 2026, the Pasco Sheriff's Office received a call for service reporting an individual had been shot and that another individual was barricaded in an apartment with the shooting suspect, Henry Josena (DOB 6/21/1997), at The Enclave apartments in Wesley Chapel.
Responding deputies made contact with the initial victim who had been shot and learned they were a bail bondsman who was attempting to take Josena into custody and revoke his bond for a failure to appear from Hillsborough County stemming from lewd and lascivious charges.
Deputies immediately entered the apartment to rescue the second victim, using a tactical shield. After making entry into the apartment and briefly making verbal contact with the additional victim, Josena fired multiple shots at Pasco Sheriff's deputies from another room, striking the shield and resulting in minor injuries to Pasco Sheriff's deputies from shrapnel. Deputies did not return fire and maintained tactical positions. Deputies maintained verbal contact with the additional victim who confirmed they were not injured.
Deputies attempted to establish contact with Josena with no response, deployed pepper balls with no response and then, using a drone, flew into the room he was in and found him deceased from a self-inflected gunshot wound. The second victim was evacuated from the apartment with no injuries, and the initial victim is at a local hospital but expected to survive. The two Pasco Sheriff's deputies were treated on scene for their minor injuries.
A photo of the shield with bullet damage is attached.
Due to the incident being inside a residence, body camera footage is not releasable pursuant to Florida State Statute 119.071.
