On Tuesday, Sept. 3, the Lafayette County Sheriff's Office received a call regarding a possible homicide. Deputies were dispatched to the scene, where a Hispanic male subject was believed to be inside the home. The male subject, identified as Juan M. Posada, was persuaded to leave the house and was detained. Deputies then entered the home and discovered a deceased female victim with apparent gunshot wounds. Posada was arrested and taken to the Lafayette County Jail. Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Special Agents, FDLE Crime Scene and the State Attorney's Office also responded to the scene to assist. There is currently no threat to the community.
The sheriff's office asks the community to keep the family in its thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
