Three people were arrested for tampering with evidence in a Central Florida murder investigation.
A 17-year-old was killed in a fatal shooting in Tampa, which led to the additional arrests in the homicide investigation.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office arrested 28-year-old Edward Lee, 20-year-old Dariana McLean, and 38-year-old Stephanie Wollitz in connection with a murder, each facing charges of tampering with evidence.
On October 21, 2025, HCSO’s 911 Dispatch Center received a call of a shooting in the 10000 block of Country Hollow Drive in Tampa where 17-year-old Trevaun Johnson was found deceased inside a vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds. The investigation revealed the incident began as an attempted armed robbery involving several individuals.
Detectives identified additional individuals involved, including 18-year-old Cordaryl Johnson, who sustained a gunshot wound and was later arrested for Second-Degree Felony Murder, Armed Burglary, and Attempted Armed Robbery.
Further investigation showed that evidence related to the shooting was taken to a hospital in Pasco County, where there were attempts to hide or discard items from the vehicle. That evidence was later recovered and linked back to the scene through forensic analysis.
As a result, the three additional individuals were recently taken into custody by the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office on warrants charging them with Tampering with Evidence and Perjury.
28-year-old Edward Lee, 20-year-old Dariana McLean, and 38-year-old Stephanie Wollitz.
“This case shows our commitment to getting to the truth and holding everyone involved accountable. Trying to hide or tamper with evidence will not stop us from finding the facts,” said Sheriff Chad Chronister. “We will continue working with our law enforcement partners to ensure justice is served.”
