JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office says a man is behind bars for back-to-back murders that happened in November. <\/p>\n

Solomon\u2019s body was found on the side of the road near Phoenix Ave and 15th Street. <\/p>\n

The next day, someone found 35-year-old Tiffany Felton dead under the bridge near Blanding Boulevard. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey killed her and left her under a bridge like she was a piece of trash,\u201d. \u201cShe is not trash. She is a human being,\u201d said AJ Jordan with the community activist group MAD Dads.<\/p>\n

According to an arrest report, JSO arrested Asberry the next day. He ran from officers and threw a gun into a pond that was later recovered. <\/p>\n

He has been in jail since then on charges unrelated to the murders, including burglary, tampering with evidence, as well as possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. <\/p>\n

Asberry was found guilty of second-degree attempted murder back in 2013. He also has had a history of dating violence, including stalking. <\/p>\n

He is due back in court on the 17th for his arraignment. <\/p>\n

We reached out to JSO to find out if there was a link between Asberry and the two victims.<\/p>\n
