Arrest Made In Fatal Valrico Bar Shooting

VALRICO, FL — A 29-year-old Valrico man faces second-degree murder charges following a fatal shooting at the One Night Stand bar Thursday morning.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, Logan Schwab was charged in the case that began to unfold around 3:15 a.m. at the 1602 E. State Road 60 bar. Deputies say Schwab and Evan Godwin, 25, of Valrico got into a verbal dispute in the bar’s parking lot. As the fight escalated, Schwab is accused of pulling a gun and shooting Godwin several times.

When deputies responded to a 911 call about the shooting, they found Godwin dead in the parking lot. He had gunshot wounds to his upper body, the agency wrote in an email to media.

“During interviews with detectives, the defendant admitted to the offense,” the sheriff’s office said.

Both Godwin and Schwab reportedly worked at the bar, but were not on the clock at the time of the shooting.

No further information is being released at this time. It is unclear what the two were arguing about.

Schwab was booked into the Hillsborough County Jail following his arrest. He was being held Friday morning without bond, jail records indicate.
