Neighbors of a man found dead in his home on Jacksonville's Northside have been charged with murder and accessory to murder in the case, police said Friday.

Police made the arrests after finding photos of the suspects on the victim's camera as it was being pawned the day after the shooting.

Bryan Joseph Edwards, 47, was killed during a robbery that was planned to take place during a drug deal, said Assistant Chief Chris Butler of the Sheriff's Office.

James Alfred Jacobsen and Rebecca Irene Brantley, both 34, lived across the street from Edwards in the 1200 block of Carthage Drive, according to arrest reports.

Edwards was shot and killed inside his house after his neighbors arranged to buy marijuana from him as they had in the past, Butler said.

Edwards' body was discovered March 1 when family members hadn't heard from him for two days and he didn't show up for work Feb. 28. Police found Edwards dead and three places inside where pot was growing.

The house was ransacked and a gold chain Edwards wore as well as a recently purchased camera were missing. The camera and chain were pawned at a Jacksonville business the next day. When detectives found the camera, they saw photos of Brantley and Jacobsen standing at the counter in the shop as well as photos of the interior of Edwards' house.

The two were arrested for dealing in stolen property. Later, Jacobsen was charged with murder and Brantley was charged with accessory to murder.
