JACKSONVILLE, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 A 44-year-old man accused of shooting a man found dead in the garage of a Mandarin home was arrested Tuesday, the Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n

The shooting happened around 5:30 p.m. at a home on Rustic Green Court, near Losco Road.<\/p>\n

The victim, identified as 43-year-old Stephen Shahly, was found dead inside the garage, police said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a good man, but even a better father,\u201d Shahly\u2019s brother-in-law told News4JAX. \u201cHe showed me how I could be a cornerstone if I need to, how many young men could be a cornerstone. That\u2019s mainly the thing I want to say about him. He was a great person, but even a better father. He cared about his community.\u201d<\/p>\n

News4JAX also spoke to neighbors who said they were shocked to hear what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a sad thing. Not the kind of thing that you hear back here,\u201d a neighbor said.<\/p>\n

Investigators identified Donald Rentfrow Jr. as the gunman and executed a search warrant at his home on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

Rentfrow was taken into custody, and he was arrested after he was interviewed.<\/p>\n

This shooting marked the 10th shooting across Jacksonville since Friday night, and the third in the last 24 hours.<\/p>\n
