JACKSONVILLE BEACH, Fla. — A man accused in the shooting death of a victim at a Windy Hill home last month is now facing murder charges.
According to police, the shooting happened at 3:20 a.m. in the 3900 block of Bunnell Drive on Jan. 23.
Police said one man was shot and transported to the hospital with life-threatening injuries where he later died.
During the investigation, officers identified 50-year-old George Litgen as the shooter. After a search that lasted several hours, a tip helped JSO find and arrest Litgen.
While JSO did not give a motive for the shooting, they did say Litgen and the victim, who are believed to be half-brothers, have a history of domestic violence.
On Feb. 4, Litgen's charges were upgraded to second-degree murder, according to an arrest report.
