College basketball star accused of gunning down his own mom Eric Cobb’s mother was found in her own backyard, wrapped in blankets and towels with a gunshot wound.
A former college basketball star was arrested by the Jacksonville, Florida Sheriff’s Office Monday in connection with his mother’s murder.
Police took Cobb in for questioning as he tried to leave the home, later arresting him and booking him into the Duval County Jail.
Officers found Winford had been shot and they “tragically pronounced [her] deceased at the scene,” the sheriff’s office said.
Cobb’s first court appearance was scheduled for Tuesday morning, according to public records.
