The body of 33 year old Eddie James Brown Junior was found inside the house Sunday morning, according to Putnam County Sheriff's Deputies.
"I wish we had more information to share with you," Deputy Hancel Woods, with Putnam County Sheriff's Office said.
Investigators aren't releasing a lot of information. It isn't clear if Brown was shot or stabbed but say a 19 year old woman was there at the time of the incident. She was hurt, and taken to Shands with non life threatening injuries.
