The bodies of two electricians were found early this morning inside an AT&T equipment shelter at a monopole site in Jacksonville, Florida, Jacksonville Sheriff’s Sgt. Steve Rudlaff of the homicide division said in a press briefing this morning.

Two electricians were shot to death while working inside an AT&T shelter located on a Crown Castle-owned site. The monopole is located at a busy intersection opposite a Family Dollar store where an armed robbery occurred on Tuesday.

The men, according to authorities, were shot multiple times and investigators have initially ruled out that it was “combat against each other”.

They are currently looking at the possibly of a robbery or other reasons why the men were killed at the Crown Castle 100-foot tower site located off of Firestone Rd. just west of I-295.

The electricians, both white and between 30 to 40 years old, were declared dead by Jacksonville Fire Department paramedics.

The names of the workers and their employer are not being released at this time, a Sheriff’s spokesperson said this afternoon.
