The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has arrested 28-year-old Eric Cobb for the murder of his mother, 51-year-old Erika Winford.
Patrol officers responded to a home on 15th Street West in the Mid-Westside area, where they found Winford unresponsive in the backyard, wrapped in a blanket and towels. She had suffered a gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Officers detained Cobb as he attempted to leave the home. After an interview with detectives, he was arrested and is now being held at the Duval County Jail.
Cobb, a 6-foot-9 former college basketball player, previously played for UConn and the University of South Carolina.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is working with the State Attorney’s Office on the case.
