JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested a 33-year-old man in connection with the woman who was found dead inside a northside apartment complex.

Bursey Jerome Armstrong was arrested and charged with second-degree murder on Sunday after a woman, believed to be in her 30s or 40s, was found unresponsive in a Mission Pointe Apartment off Biscayne Boulevard Saturday afternoon.

She was pronounced dead on the scene after a neighbor called 911, according to JSO.

News4JAX found out that Armstrong has a lengthy list of offenses on his record but all are nonviolent offenses.

Armstrong has a total of 12 offenses including a DUI, multiple offenses for driving with a suspended license and driving without a seatbelt.
