A teenager being held on gun charges in relation to the Oct. 29 shooting that killed two and injured 16 now faces an adult count of second-degree murder.

After hearing testimony and viewing video evidence, a judge agreed with prosecutors that 22-year-old Tyrell Phillips remains a danger to the community.

A person, later identified as the teen, was seen displaying a firearm before leaving the scene. He was arrested in Palm Beach.

Some speakers proposed making logistical changes to securing Ybor City at peak times, while others focused on big picture issues like curbing gun violence.

Police continue to ask for assistance from anyone who might have information on the Oct. 29 shooting that killed two and injured 16 others.

It was in response to a shooting during Halloween weekend that killed two people — including a 14-year-old boy – and hurt 16 others. Police say officers will keep patrolling throughout Tampa.

The Tampa Police Department will have officers on foot, and on bicycles and horseback starting Friday night. They will be joined by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office and the Florida Highway Patrol.

The public can submit text, photos, or videos. That information will then be sent directly to investigators.

They say more police should have been at the scene with hundreds gathering for the Halloween weekend. A dispute led to gunfire that left two dead and 16 wounded.

A 22-year-old faces a charge of second-degree murder in a shooting in Ybor City in which two were killed, including a 14-year-old. It followed an altercation between him and another person, and led to gunfire just before bars were set to close Sunday at 3 a.m.

He has been with the Tampa Police Department for nearly 27 years, serving in several roles.

Tampa Police Chief Lee Barcaw said currently, the department has 984 officers, with a less than 5% vacancy rate. He said another 31 officers will be hired on in March, leaving just 14 vacancies total.
