Murder charges filed against man in stabbing death in Fish Hawk community

HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — A Hillsborough County man has been arrested following a fatal stabbing during a fight between a lawn care professional and a postal worker last month.

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

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

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

“I cannot imagine the pain this senseless loss has brought to the victim’s family and loved ones. I sincerely hope that this arrest provides them with peace of mind and closure as they continue to suffer,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “We will not tolerate this type of senseless violence in our society.”

As allegations mount that the DeSantis administration is misusing taxpayer money to influence voters on abortion and marijuana issues, a political communications expert says the state’s actions are merely unprecedented but dangerous.
