Husband, Wife Fatally Shot Man While Evicting Him In Brandon: Hillsborough Sheriff

BRANDON, FL — A husband and wife were arrested in connection with a fatal shooting during an eviction in Brandon, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release.

James Sidney Llanos, 47, and his wife, Lizeina Marie Cepeda, 39, were subletting their apartment to the victim, Travon Jackson, 30, in the 1800 block of Lake Chapman Drive.

The couple entered the apartment on Monday to evict Jackson.

During the altercation, Llanos shot and killed him, the sheriff’s office said.

Both Llanos and Cepeda were charged with murder in the first degree while engaged in burglary.

Llanos was also charged with armed burglary of a dwelling with assault or battery (dangerous weapon or explosive; firearm, great bodily harm/death), and Cepeda was charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling with assault or battery.

"This was a senseless act of violence that cost a man his life," Sheriff Chad Chronister said. "Our detectives worked quickly to piece together what happened and make sure those responsible are held accountable for their actions."
