On Jan. 24 at about 11 a.m., Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputies responded to 2611 14th Ave. S.E. in Ruskin after receiving a report of two bodies inside the mobile home.

When they arrived, deputies found the bodies of Juanita Donna Solozano, 33, and Alexis Martinez, 24, who lived at the address. Solozano was five months’ pregnant when she died.

The Medical Examiner's Office concluded that both died of gunshot wounds.
