The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office is searching for a suspect in an early-morning homicide in Brandon.

According to deputies, four people were hanging out at an apartment in the Astor Commons Place apartment complex when two men got into an argument. The complex is located near Providence Lakes Boulevard and South Gornto Lake Road.

The argument turned physical and one of the men suffered what's being called upper body trauma. That man, 32-year-old Travis Ware, later died at Tampa General Hospital.

Deputies said they want to talk to Ralph Leon Pearson, who left the apartment before they arrived, to determine his exact involvement.
