TAMPA - A Tampa woman was found dead behind an apartment building near Temple Terrace on Saturday, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.

Tammy Michelle Fickey, 31, of 1921 N 57th St., was discovered at 13613 N 21st St. by a resident at Oak Forest Apartments, said sheriff's spokeswoman Debbie Carter.

Fickey's body was found about 7:30 p.m. Carter would only say that she suffered trauma to her upper torso. Carter said Fickey was released from state prison on Jan. 19.

According to jail records, Fickey had been arrested in Hillsborough at least three times since 2001 on charges that included prostitution, possession of cocaine, aggravated assault on a victim over 65 and robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon.
