Overview
- Deputies were flagged down about a repairman’s truck at about 10:45 p.m. Thursday and found a 31-year-old man shot to death inside a vacant home on Crathie Drive.
- Investigators reported finding shell casings at the scene and said detectives remained late into the night to secure evidence and obtain a search warrant to fully process the house.
- The repairman arrived earlier that day to do work after being scheduled to meet the homeowner’s son, but family members raised the alarm when he did not return and his employer helped track his location.
- Authorities said a black sedan was seen leaving the residence and that the car does not match the vehicle the son was reported to drive; detectives are working to identify the vehicle and driver.
- Two people were questioned at the scene and a woman was briefly detained, no arrests or motive have been announced, and many investigative details remain unresolved while HCSO continues the probe.
