PONCE DE LEON — A 28-year-old Pensacola man is being charged with an open count of murder in connection with a fatal shooting in Ponce de Leon on Saturday, according to a news release from the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office.
Joshua Brandyn Gaskey was located and taken into custody in Escambia County on Saturday on other felony charges, according to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.
No arrest report or additional information was available Monday on the murder charge.
The Holmes County Sheriff’s Office named Gaskey as a suspect in the shooting at a residence on Grant Road that was reported shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday.
When deputies and Holmes County EMS crews arrived at the house, they found a man and a woman with gunshot wounds to the head.
The woman, who was dead, was identified as Jacqulyn Brooks.
Her husband, Sheley Glenn Brooks, was taken to a hospital in Bay County with life-threatening injuries.
On Monday, he was reported to have been discharged from Bay Medical Sacred Heart, according to a representative for the hospital.
The Holmes County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Monday afternoon Sheley Glenn Brooks was alive, but could not release information about his condition or whereabouts.
The investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
Gaskey initially was arrested on charges of fraud and grand theft in connection with the disappearance of 11 checks from a Pensacola church earlier this year.
He was seen on surveillance video cashing some of the checks, which were all made out to him, according to his arrest report.
