ST. LUCIE COUNTY, Fla. — The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office will provide an update on Tuesday following the recent arrest of a South Florida murder suspect.
Deputies announced on Saturday that Olson Jean, 41, of Pompano Beach, faces a charge of first-degree murder with a firearm and tampering with evidence.
Investigators said his arrest stems from the death of Wendy Moncion, 32, of Coconut Creek, Florida.
Jean was taken into custody last week after a report of a suspicious person behind a Pilot truck stop located near South Rock Road in Fort Pierce.
Deputies found Jean near a semi that appeared to have left the roadway and entered a ditch while attempting to turn around abruptly.
Investigators said they found blood inside the cab of the semi near the passenger-side door, as well as blood on the exterior passenger-side area of the vehicle.
Jean remains in custody at the St. Lucie County Jail without bond. He also faces a charge of resisting an officer without violence.
This remains an active investigation. Anyone with information related to this case is encouraged to contact the sheriff's office at (772) 462-7300 or email CrimeTips@stluciesheriff.gov.
At Tuesday's 3 p.m. news conference, the sheriff's office is also expected to share the latest on the four people hurt during a Facebook Marketplace ambush near Fort Pierce on Sunday.
