Jamari DeAndre Jones, 20, was found dead inside a home at 804 Montclair Road in unincorporated Leesburg, Florida, after deputies answered shots fired about 4:30 a.m. on February 16, 2022. A second victim, 41-year-old Jammy Casteel, was found wounded on the front porch, taken to UF Health Leesburg, and later died of his injuries.

Investigators report signs of forced entry at the front door and believe Jones was brought to the house in a vehicle that fled before law enforcement arrived. Detectives describe the shootings as targeted killings rather than random violence and are seeking information about the vehicle and the individuals who left the scene.

Jones was out on bail for drug and weapons charges at the time and had prior arrests; Casteel had a lengthy criminal record including two stints in the Florida Department of Corrections for selling drugs. No arrests have been announced and the Lake County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate. Has anyone seen or heard anything about a vehicle leaving that area around 4:30 a.m. on February 16, 2022?
