Melbourne detectives have made an arrest following the death of a man who police found shot early Sunday, according to the police department.
SD, 24, faces a charge of manslaughter, the Melbourne Police Department said in a news release. He was being held on no bond at the time of this report, records show and is expected to make his first appearance on Monday.
Officers responded around 1:51 a.m. to the area of Vernon Place and East New Haven Avenue in reference to a report of gunshots, the release states.
Once there, police said they located an unresponsive subject with an apparent gunshot wound, according to the release.
The subject — identified as 19-year-old NBJ of Palm Bay — died despite the best efforts of officers and Melbourne Fire Rescue to provide him with medical attention, police said.
Police believe there is no further outstanding threat to the public, the release states.
An official from Eastern Florida State College told News 6 that J “was a former student athlete at the college during the 2021-22 basketball season. He was with us in a limited role for the one season and did not return after.”
