A man was arrested in a fatal shooting at a Central Florida RV resort.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office recently arrested the suspect in connection with the fatal shooting in Tampa.
On June 29, 2025, at 11:56pm, deputies responded to a shooting at the Happy Traveler’s RV Resort. The victim, 23-year-old Talando House, was transported to St. Joseph’s Hospital Main, where he was pronounced deceased at 2:27am.
Through the course of the investigation, detectives identified 19-year-old Malik Rashad Cook, as the suspect in the shooting.
Last month, with assistance from the Pasco Sheriff’s Office, detectives located and arrested Cook and was being held at the Pasco County Jail. He was arrested for second degree murder and tampering with physical evidence.
“This suspect may have believed he escaped accountability, but our detectives remained relentless,” said Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister. “While nothing can undo this family’s loss, we hope this arrest provides some measure of comfort as the case moves forward.”
This remains an active investigation, according to local law enforcement.
