TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Deputies say a man and a woman were found dead in an exclusive north Tampa neighborhood.
    
Hillsborough County Sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter says the bodies of 76-year-old Hector Rivera and 55-year-old Debra Rivera were discovered Monday night inside a home in the Avila subdivision.
    
Carter says the sheriff's office received a call just before 8 p.m. Monday. Responding deputies found two bodies at the home.
