Brandon, FL - The man who was shot and killed by deputies after an incident in Hillsborough County has been identified as a U.S. Army veteran.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said Vincent Morin, 34, was seen walking down the sidewalk wearing tactical gear and carrying a rifle near Causeway Boulevard in Brandon Wednesday morning. Deputies who responded to the scene were heard on body camera footage ordering Morin to drop his gun.

The sheriff's office said Morin didn't respond to orders to drop the gun, and that's when deputies fired their guns.

For several friends of Morin, the scene was difficult to watch.

"He was not a hostile man by any means," said Morin's friend Kolten Ollom, who served alongside him.

A U.S. Army spokesman said Morin served from 2009-2012 and again from 2014-2020. He was deployed multiple times to Afghanistan and Iraq, and he left the Army as a staff sergeant.
