Two men have been arrested after a woman was found stabbed to death inside a Seminole County apartment on Tuesday, police said.
The Sanford Police Department responded around 4:38 p.m. to the Hatteras Sound Apartments located at 13000 Island Bay Circle to reports of two suspicious men inside a unit.
The 911 call was made by management at the apartment complex after they received a request to conduct a well-being check from the mother of a resident living at an apartment, police said. The woman stated she hadn't heard from her daughter since Sunday.
An apartment complex representative and the mother went inside the apartment and located two unknown men. The two men eventually fled on foot.
Sanford Police was called to the apartment and found a woman, later identified as Latrice Randolph, unresponsive with multiple stab wounds.
Randolph was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two men fled the area on foot, but they were later located and captured by police.
According to the arrest report, the two men didn't have any photo identification and were staying inside the apartment for several days.
Both men were transported to the Sanford Police Department for questioning. They provided names of Jeremiah Elliott and Jimmie Elliott.
Based on evidence, both men were arrested in connection with Randolph's murder.
Jimmie Elliott, 28, of Sanford, has been charged with first-degree premeditated homicide and resisting a law enforcement officer without violence.
The other man, who said his name was Jeremiah Elliott, couldn't positively be identified, police said. He was booked into the jail as John Doe and charged with obstructing justice (a compounding felony) and resisting a law enforcement officer without violence. He told police that he was homeless and didn't report the alleged crime because he "was rewarded with a residence to stay."
Both men were booked into the John E. Polk Correctional Facility.
