CRESTVIEW, Fla. — A Crestview area murder suspect is in custody after Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office deputies found him in the victim’s car last night in a Fort Walton Beach neighborhood.

The OCSO has charged Joshua Nunn, 41, with first-degree premeditated murder.

According to a Sheriff’s Office report, deputies were called to a home on Acorn Drive around 7 p.m. Sunday night and found the victim on her bed covered in blood. Her car was missing and OCSO investigators quickly developed Nunn as a suspect.

Deputies captured Nunn about three hours later in the victim’s car in the Kiwi/Carson area.

Nunn says he used a hammer on the elderly victim, tried to suffocate her with a pillow, and wrapped a cord from an alarm clock around her neck to choke her because he wanted his debit card and her debit card, according to the report.

Nunn was released from a Florida prison in November 2021 after serving time for robbery, the report said.
