According to a Sept. 17 social media posting, detectives later identified the accused gunman as James Pagan, 29.

The suspect and at least one of the victims were known to each other, and the incident is suspected to be domestic-related, the posting said.

Pagan was later arrested by Alachua County Sheriff’s Office personnel on unrelated charges.

He remains in custody in Alachua County according to a St. Petersburg Police Department spokesperson.

The investigation into the shooting remains ongoing.

Barbarajean Lombardi was a former student of Faith Christian Academy in Spring Hill, where funeral services will take place Tuesday, Sept. 21.
