A man and woman are behind bars after allegedly concocting a plan where she set up a sex rendezvous with a man, and they murdered him and stole his car, according to Florida cops.
Michael Rene Montgomery Jr., 47, and Jessica Long, 37, were arrested on Wednesday on a charge of homicide-murder while engaged in a robbery, the Marion County Sheriff’s Office said in a press release.
A passerby called deputies shortly after 6:30 p.m. on June 27 after seeing a dead person on the side of the road in the 7600 block of Northwest 77th Terrace near Ocala. The person was later identified as 40-year-old Wayne Barlow.
Deputies noticed his body was wedged against some vines and a tree, and his shorts and underwear were at his ankles. He had been shot in the head and had several injuries, including a defensive wound, according to a probable cause arrest affidavit.
