MELBOURNE, Florida -- The
Brevard County Grand Jury on Tuesday, March 11, returned a first-degree
premeditated murder charge against Michael Maxwell, a 20-year-old Palm
Bay man, for the Nov. 24 shooting death of 22-year-old James Wynn, West Melbourne.
The
Grand Jury heard testimony from the Brevard County Medical Examiner, a
West Melbourne Police detective, a Brevard County Sheriff’s Office crime
scene investigator, and a lay witness before returning the indictment.
Maxwell was arrested by West Melbourne Police on Feb. 18 for Wynn’s
murder while he was being held in the Brevard County Jail on a bond
revocation for a pending case.
Assistant
State Attorney Michael Hunt said Wynn’s body was discovered on Nov. 24,
2013, behind two houses near his home at 1090 Hollister Dr., West
Melbourne. Maxwell is scheduled for a first-appearance on the charge Wednesday at the Brevard County Jail.
