JACKSONVILLE, FL. (THECOUNT) — Deshawn Minor has been identified as the decomposing body found less than a block from Florida State College at Jacksonville’s South Campus.
Police are investigating after the remains of Minor, 18, were found Sunday afternoon in woods off Marina Drive, in Jacksonville.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said Minor’s remains were decomposing, but homicide detectives have classified his death as a murder.
News4Jax is trying to learn more about Minor, including whether he was a student at FSCJ. The college sent out an alert Monday morning about police activity in its west parking lot near Perimeter Road, but said it was not associated with FSCJ and there was no danger to the campus community. source
Minor lived on University Boulevard, but he was arrested in Nassau County in June in connection with the burglary of a vehicle. He was released the following month.
Anyone with possible information on the deadly incident should contact police at 911.
