Man Charged in Pine Hills Stabbing After Texts and Video Link Him to Attack

Deputies cite phone data leading to a Sanford shelter alongside hospital records of a hand injury hours later.

Overview

  • Tremon Jones, 33, was arrested Friday and faces a first-degree murder charge in the killing of 45-year-old Degwendolyn Floyd.
  • An affidavit says Jones texted that he was 10 minutes away and asked to come over, with investigators alleging plans to meet for sex.
  • Home surveillance shows a masked man in a hoodie arrive around 11:04 p.m. on Nov. 28, attack after the door opens, and flee by 11:05 p.m.
  • Investigators tracked a phone to a Sanford homeless shelter and found paperwork indicating Jones sought treatment for a right-hand laceration hours after the attack.
  • Records state the two knew each other and describe a March 2024 case in which a burglary charge was dropped while Jones later pleaded no contest to drug offenses and received time served.
