Citibank employee killed in Tampa shooting

A shooting at a Citibank office complex in Tampa, Florida, resulted in the death of a 41-year-old employee, Leanne Selman, on November 4, 2026. Authorities report that the suspect, identified as 35-year-old Jacob Pearson, allegedly threatened to bring a rifle to the campus earlier that morning.

According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, the incident began around 12:11 p.m. when the suspect drove a vehicle into a fenced area and struck an outdoor seating area. The suspect then exited the vehicle with a rifle and shot Selman.

A Citibank security employee, identified as 38-year-old John Fraley, a vice president and intelligence lead analyst, confronted the armed suspect in the building’s cafeteria. Fraley shot the suspect, who was subsequently transported to a hospital where he died from his injuries. Sheriff Chad Chronister praised Fraley’s intervention, noting that his actions helped prevent further casualties on a campus that held more than 3,200 people that day.
