Sheriff Says Burglar Had Gun Out, Cocked
Richard Munoz, 23, was shot early Thursday morning as he entered the homeowners' bedroom, Sheriff Joey Dobson said. Munoz died three days later at Shands-Jacksonville Medical Center.

According to Dobson, Munoz had a gun, loaded and cocked, when he was shot.

Munoz' 17-year-old brother, who was arrested while running away from the same house, remains jailed on charges of home invasion, burglary and aggravated assault. The state attorney's office could charge him as an adult.

According to the police report, the younger brother told investigators: "Me and Richard were just riding around and Richard told me he wanted to go break into somebody's home."
