A 29-year-old man has been arrested and charged in a murder case from almost four months ago.

Steve Hammonds is facing several charges, including premeditated murder for the death of Vontay Eugene Silas-Pruitt.

The shooting happened just after midnight Nov. 11 at the intersection of Washington Street and East Street in Leesburg.

Witnesses told investigators they saw Hammonds asking Silas-Pruitt about money, who denied owing him anything. That's when witnesses said Hammonds pulled out a gun.

Officers found Silas-Pruitt lying in the street after being shot several times. He died at Leesburg Regional Medical Center.

Hammonds was booked at the Lake County jail on a $10,000 bond.
