LEON COUNTY, Fla. (WTXL) — The Leon County Sheriff’s Office announced Wednesday night that it has a person of interest connected to a homicide that occurred Sunday.

The sheriff’s office said in a news release Wednesday that the victim of the homicide was a 37-year-old white woman from Georgia and investigators believe the suspect in the incident was known to the victim and the case is an isolated incident.

Sunday just after 7:30 p.m., Leon County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to an address on the 12000 block of Wiley Road in northeast Leon County.

When deputies arrived at the scene, they found the body of the deceased woman on the side of the road.
