Authorities in Tampa say that a shooting at a house resulted from a fight over cleaning.
According to the Tampa Police Department, a guy who had been shot numerous times in the upper body was discovered by officers when they attended to a residence on East 26th Avenue at approximately 9:28 in the morning.
After receiving medical attention at the hospital, the victim passed away from his wounds.
Patricia Whitehead, the 71-year-old suspect, was the victim’s roommate, according to the police, and she was upset with him for not picking up after himself.
Investigators say Whitehead heard the victim slam the door as he was leaving the house, grabbed a revolver from her bedroom, and followed him outside, killing him many times.
He is the spouse of the woman at the house, who claims to have previously warned people about Whitehead.

“He’s a loving, he’s kind, he’s gentle. He don’t hurt no one. He worked, he’s got four kids,” she stated.
