Deputies: Landlord in custody after shooting, killing tenant

Deputies were called to home multiple times over eviction dispute

MARION COUNTY, Fla. – Deputies with the Marion County Sheriff's Office say a landlord is in custody after he shot and killed his tenant.

Deputies were called to the 2800 block of SE 59th Street in Ocala around 8:30 p.m. Friday in reference to a shooting.

Investigators said when deputies arrived to the scene they found a man, later identified as Marc Bruss, 49, dead inside the home and the victim's landlord, Stanley Antony Jenson.

The Sheriff's Office says Jenson shot and killed Bruss over an eviction dispute. Deputies had responded to the home multiple times Friday as Jenson was trying to evict Bruss, according to a Sheriff's office release. Deputies say they explained the eviction process to Jenson and told him not to visit the home again.

Deputies say Jenson is now being held in the Marion County Jail without bond.
