On 02-22-2021 just before 10:30 p.m., Hernando County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a residence on Greenbrier Court in Spring Hill after having received information that a “dead body” was located there.

Upon arrival, deputies made contact with three individuals inside the residence.  After speaking briefly with these individuals, the deputies were escorted through the residence.  Almost immediately, deputies discovered a male, who was deceased, in one of the rooms.  Obvious signs of homicidal violence were present.

The investigation is still very active; therefore, limited information will be released at this time.

A suspect, who was present in the residence when deputies arrived, has been placed under arrest.  There are no other known suspects at large, at this time.  There is no known threat to the community.
