The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office says a man is behind bars for back-to-back murders that happened in November.

Solomon’s body was found on the side of the road near Phoenix Ave and 15th Street.
The next day, someone found 35-year-old Tiffany Felton dead under the bridge near Blanding Boulevard.
“They killed her and left her under a bridge like she was a piece of trash,”. “She is not trash. She is a human being,” said AJ Jordan with the community activist group MAD Dads.
According to an arrest report, JSO arrested Asberry the next day. He ran from officers and threw a gun into a pond that was later recovered.

He has been in jail since then on charges unrelated to the murders, including burglary, tampering with evidence, as well as possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
Asberry was found guilty of second-degree attempted murder back in 2013. He also has had a history of dating violence, including stalking.
He is due back in court on the 17th for his arraignment.
We reached out to JSO to find out if there was a link between Asberry and the two victims.
