A Florida man suspected of murdering a woman in her own driveway in Tampa Thursday was arrested, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
On Thursday, deputies identified the alleged killer as 32-year-old Aurelio Diaz. Diaz reportedly killed a woman who was in her car in front of her home on Orange Street.
Paris Dube, the grandmother of the victim’s child, identified the woman killed as Ashley Voss.
Dube says she watched Ring video that shows a man walking up to Voss’s car and shooting her. Dube says Voss has two young boys, two boys who will never see their mom again.
“For whatever reason you felt like you needed to do that, she was a mom, she was a really good mom. She loved her boys, and now they’re never going to know her,” Dube said.
HCSO says it received a 911 call around 1 a.m. from a caller who could not or would not speak.
A deputy sent to the scene to investigate found Voss inside a vehicle at the home with upper body trauma.
Deputies arrested Diaz without incident nearly 20 hours after the incident. He was about a mile away from the victim’s home.
“A killer is off the streets, all thanks to the prompt action, meticulous investigation, and unwavering determination of everyone who worked on the case,” Sheriff Chad Chronister said. “We hope this helps bring some closure to the victim’s family as they start the road to seeing justice for their loved one.”
Diaz is charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bond at the Orient Road Jail.
An investigation remains ongoing.
