NR 18-33 Cocoa Man Charged in Woman’s Death

The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office has arrested 21-year-old Jacob Hall of unincorporated Cocoa for the death of 22-year-old Michelle Turner. Hall was arrested after an arrest warrant was issued by a judge charging him with Manslaughter. He was taken to the Brevard County Jail where he is being held on a $40,000 bond. 

The investigation began shortly after midnight on February 4, 2018, when deputies responded to Chelsie Avenue, Cocoa, in reference to an unresponsive female who was pronounced deceased. The victim was transported to the Brevard Medical Examiner’s Office for an autopsy. 

The investigation has revealed that Turner and Hall met, consumed drugs together and returned to the residence on Chelsie Avenue.
