A man has been charged with murder in a stabbing in the Fish Hawk community

HILLSBORO COUNTY, FL. A Hillsborough County man was arrested after he was fatally stabbed during a fight between a lawn care professional and a postal worker last month.

The fight happened around 1 p.m. Oct. 22 in the 5600 block of Tangerlake Road in Lithia. Deputies who arrived at the scene said they found 29-year-old Jacob Whitaker unresponsive in the road with “multiple stab wounds to the upper torso.”

Whitaker was pronounced dead at the scene by the Hillsborough County Fire Department.

Deputies investigating the scene said Calloway now faces a single charge of second-degree murder for allegedly stabbing Whitaker.

“I cannot imagine the pain this senseless loss has caused the family and loved ones of the victim. I sincerely hope this arrest gives them peace of mind and closure as they continue to grieve,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “We will not tolerate such senseless violence in our community.”
