Raymond Jackson Jr. faces charges of first-degree murder, sexual battery and burglary in connection to the January incident.<\/p>\n

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 A 47-year-old man is behind bars in Jacksonville, facing several charges after police say he sexually battered and killed a woman earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Raymond Jackson Jr. faces charges of first-degree murder, sexual battery and burglary with assault or battery.<\/p>\n

On Jan. 23, JSO said patrol officers were asked to do a welfare check at an apartment on Sunbeam Road. When officers entered the apartment, they reportedly found a woman who had been attacked.<\/p>\n

According to JSO, the woman died at the home.<\/p>\n

After reviewing all available evidence, JSO said detectives identified Jackson as the suspect.<\/p>\n

According to JSO, the Nassau County Sheriff’s Office took Jackson into custody a few days following the incident, after he led officers and NCSO deputies on a chase. Records show that he was sentenced to three years in prison on May 13 for fleeing a law enforcement officer.<\/p>\n

On May 21, while Jackson was serving his prison sentence, a grand jury indicted him on charges of first-degree murder, sexual battery and burglary with assault or battery, according to court records. Due to a court order, Jackson was transported from the Florida State Prison to the Duval County Jail on June 29, and arrested on those charges the next day.<\/p>\n

“We’ll continue to seek justice for the woman’s friends and family,” JSO said in a release.<\/p>\n

Court records show that Jackson is scheduled to be arraigned July 13, and that prosecutors have filed a notice of intent to seek the death penalty.<\/p>\n
