Police in Tallahassee have identified a body found July 7 as Garrett Schroeder, 22, who was being sought on a charge of first degree murder.
Tallahassee police notified Ormond Beach police that they found the Mitsubishi Eclipse the suspect was believed to be driving. In a search of the area, they found a deceased white male matching the description of the suspect. Using a Rapid-ID fingerprint scanner, the deceased subject was identified as Schroeder. He apparently died from a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Ormond Beach police have not released the identity and cause of death of the male found July 3 at 8 Foxhunter Flat, pending autopsy results. According to county property records, the house is owned by Christian Schroeder, who is the father of Garrett Schroeder.
Police were called to the Foxhunter Flat house by a person who had discovered the body.
In a statement released earlier, police spokesman Keith Walker said Garrett Schroeder has ties to the Tallahassee, Daytona Beach, South Daytona and Ormond Beach areas.
Anyone with information concerning this incident is asked to contact Detective Sergeant James Doggett at 295-7028.
