RIVERVIEW, Fla. (WFLA) — A suspect is in critical condition following a domestic dispute that turned into a deputy-involved shooting early Sunday morning.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office responded to the incident in the 10500 block of Lake Montauk Drive in Riverview.

A victim’s ex-husband called 911 around 3:47 a.m. and said his adult son told him the mother’s new boyfriend beat her up and lit the bedroom on fire. Three adult children were in the residence at the time.

Sheriff Chad Chronister said the suspect, 50-year-old Manuel Alvarez, lit a fake plant and other miscellaneous items on fire.

The mother was found with a bruise on her face, being struck at least once by the time deputies arrived. As officials spoke with the mother, they could hear Alvarez upstairs.

Deputies made their way up the stairs to approach Alvarez, as the suspect yelled out, “Come on up, I’m gonna shoot your a**.”

One deputy flings the door to the bedroom open and fires several shots at Alvarez, who was armed, striking him twice in the upper torso.

Alvarez was rendered first aid on the scene. He is in critical condition and is undergoing surgery at Tampa General Hospital, according to Sheriff Chronister.

The sheriff’s office said Alvarez has no record of criminal history.

The deputy involved in the shooting is 35-year-old Sean Swinford who was hired by the sheriff’s office in July 2024. He has eight years of experience as a law enforcement officer.

Sheriff Chronister made a statement to victims of domestic violence, saying there is another way to life, and urged them to call The Spring of Tampa Bay at 813-247-7233 for help.

The incident will be investigated by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The deputy was placed on administrative leave.
