Two shootings were reported from separate parts of Osceola County over the weekend, leaving one person dead and sending two others to the hospital.

Outside of Holopaw, an 86-year-old man said he shot his two sons after arguing with them Saturday night, the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office reported. Lindsay Thomas “L.T.” Peeples Sr. now faces a charge of murder and attempted murder for reportedly shooting his sons, 55-year-old Lindsay Thomas Peeples Jr. and 47-year-old John Brooke Peeples. 

Deputies went to the elder Peeples’ home after receiving a call at 7:30 p.m. Saturday. They spoke with the father, who fully cooperated with the investigation.

“It was a family matter,” Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Twis Lizasuain said. “He told the detectives that he and his sons were involved in a verbal dispute which escalated and led to the shooting.”

L.T. Peeples Sr. was arrested early Sunday morning and booked into the Osceola County Jail without bond. Detectives have not released the specific type of weapon used in the shooting and are still investigating the case.

The land near Crabgrass Road drew deputies’ attention last month, after human remains were found on the nearby Bull Creek Wildlife Management Preserve. A Palm Bay man has since been charged with the abuse of the body, which was identified as 22-year-old Andrew Johnson, also from Palm Bay.

The property at 6800 Crabgrass Road, which is listed as a mailing address for L.T. Peeples, has several sheds and a wood deck but no house structure, according to county property records. John Brooke Peeples lived on property he owned down the street from his father while Lindsay Thomas Jr. Peeples has an Orlando address.
